For my daughter Nicole, well let’s just say that her determination, grit, mental toughness and an attitude that says ”I will conquer this and I will not be defined by my diagnosis”, saw Nicole compete in the Margaret River Ultra Marathon just like she planned before diagnosis five days after her second round of double chemotherapy, and with a caution from her oncologist, she completed the 80kms in 13 hours and 21 minutes an absolute incredible achievement. Are we proud of her, you bet we are, is she an inspiration to those around her, you bet she is and is she planning another marathon, she most certainly is but not for a while? She continues with further rounds of chemo followed with six weeks of radiation and hopefully, treatment will be completed by the end of October. Thank you again to everyone at Sorrento. You are an awesome community to belong to. – Kerry Hutchinson
