Meet our Challenge Brain Cancer Ambassador Ryker

When Ryker was two years old, his mum and dad noticed a troubling decline in his development. Many medical appointments later, the confronting news of Ryker's diagnosis was revealed, he had brain cancer.

What followed was a harrowing time for all with surgery and treatment, with Kristie giving up her paid employment to care for Ryker. Today Ryker is making incredible progress but still needs a team of support around him after experiencing a multitude of challenges post-surgery.  Now a busy and energetic four-year-old, social butterfly Ryker loves to make people laugh, make up random songs and is passionate about the solar system.  

Mum Kristie is hoping to transition Ryker to preschool and when asked what her hopes are for his future, the response is simple and moving. 

'I'd just love to see him grow up and have a healthy and happy life.' 

Keep on reaching for those stars Ryker. 

Challenge Brain Cancer is Peace of Mind Foundation’s signature fundraiser held every year. Stay tuned for more details about this year's event in May.
