A young child's special, touching endeavor while fighting cancer.

During Childhood Cancer Awareness month, a touching story of strength and perseverance is being shared by a family on the Gold Coast. The Stargazer family has opened up about their journey, documenting the highs and lows of their daughter's treatment and showcasing the power of positivity and creativity.
It all began when their five-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Obi, was diagnosed with leukemia after months of persistent illnesses. As any parent would, Katie Stargazer and her husband were devastated by the news. Obi was in kindergarten at the time, and they initially thought it was just one virus after another. But when she didn't get better, they knew it was time to seek medical help.
The diagnosis marked the beginning of a roller coaster ride for the family. But amidst the tragedy, something beautiful started to take shape. Obi and her mom embarked on a unique project, using it as a way to cope with the challenges of treatment and bring a little light into their lives. They decided to document the highs and lows of Obi's treatment as part of a school science project.
Katie shares, "It's been an incredible journey. We never imagined that this project would leave behind such a beautiful legacy." Obi's treatment involves chemotherapy, lumbar punctures, oral medication, and steroids. It's a rigorous regimen, and after five months, she still has two more years to go. But with the love and support of her family, Obi remains resilient and determined to overcome this battle.
She says, "I can't wait for the day when I can put my own name on the bell and ring it to say 'goodbye leukemia'."
