PROJECT - CAMERON SHELTON
Seed Funding: $1,000.00 (of 11,000.00+)
Cameron Shelton was a young man with a "Heart of Gold" who completed his education with love, empathy and care at Brindabella Christian College, and went on to become a leading Australian Futsal Umpire, twice nominated to train with the worlds best in Europe. When Cameron graduated he then became an employee, specifically leading our Duke of Edinburgh Program.
In 2020 Cameron was diagnosed with a "one-in-a-million” rare spinal cancer, went through the most aggressive treatment you could possibly sustain to reduce the tumours, spinal operations to remove them when the tumours shrunk, and at the end of it all he then went into remission.
The tumours returned to his spine and metastasised into his hips. So he once again faced aggressive Chemo and operations more invasive than the first set.

Cameron was self sufficient and had been that way from a very young teenager, all of which had taken a toll when he was facing multiple trips to Sydney and the ongoing inability to work.
We encouraged anyone who had a heart for family and friends suffering from cancer, and especially children and young adults who are at the beginning of their lives, to support Cameron in this journey.
Prayerfully The Go Fund Me Page raised over $11,000.00 through Friends, Family and reaching out to Business Associates.
This helped Cameron survive, go to the USA for a final trip to catch up with family, and end his life amongst good friends and memories, having also left an Australian legacy in the world of Futsal.
