The Barnett family tragically lost their 8 month old baby daughter Ruth to neuroblastoma on Christmas Day last year. In order to create a lasting legacy in Ruth’s honour, Ruth’s Dad, Daniel is organising the creation of a special garden which will provide an educational and fun outdoor area in their local community.

They are also holding a fundraising appeal for Neuroblastoma Australia at the same time and have raised so far a massive $38,000!!

Ruth never got the chance to play outside in the garden with her big sister and the neighbourhood kids. Sadly, what the Bartnett family went through is the reality of many more families affected by neuroblastoma. Only 50% of the children diagnosed with aggressive tumours survive. We MUST find a cure!!

If you would like to support their garden project directly, through donating a pretty native plant or two please reach out to Ruth’s dad through their Facebook Page and to support their Neuroblastoma cure campaign please go here.
