Project Maryann
Is it just me or does everyone think that life is too cruel sometimes?
Across the coast, I know, there are great teachers. People who make a difference every day with the kids they teach.
One of those teachers is a woman called Maryann Wasmund Ford. Maryann is an absolute darling, she taught my daughter Jemima in year two. At the time Jemima needed some special care and Maryann made sure she got it. I will always be grateful to her for that.
And now Maryann needs our help…
Earlier this year, when Maryann was 37 weeks pregnant with her beautiful baby Cooper she complained to the doctor about a sinus problem, something that had been with her since her first pregnancy apparently.
After taking a look, the doctors decided to take the baby early and operate on the sinus problem. A week later, the very worst fears were confirmed.
37 year old Maryann, wife of one, mother of two and beloved teacher of hundreds has an aggressive, inoperable carcinoma.
At the moment, she and her family are in Melbourne at the Peter Macallum Cancer Centre…the only place in Australia able to offer Maryann some hope.
A lot of people know Maryann, she was raised in Nambour with her four brothers, I'm pretty sure her dad was a teacher there too.
To know Maryann is to love her, and a lot of parents and friends have already got together for a backyard blitz.
There's lots of ways people can help, log onto www.thedaily.com.au to find out more, or check out the My Space titled 'project - maryann'
And then, keep Maryann and her beautiful boys in your prayers.
