“You hear these stories and these families are superheroes,” Jake told The Daily Telegraph of the Oakley family.
“They are the ones that are celebrities, and the doctors and nurses who are making a difference.”
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Jake called upon his followers to donate to Eleanor’s Go Fund Me page, explaining that the lifesaving treatment for the toddler’s stage 4 neuroblastoma is only available in the United States.
“PLEASE READ….we’ve raised 215 out of the 300k needed to get Eleanor over the US for urgent life-saving treatment.
“Time is not our best friend here. This is my little mate Eleanor.”
“At 18 months of age Eleanor was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma – an aggressive form of childhood cancer. Since then Eleanor has had multiple surgery’s and most recently a brain tumour, yet is still smiling.
“We are so close to reaching the target to give her a chance. Please if anyone can spare a couple bucks, the link is in my bio or go to www.eleanorsfight.com.au for her go fund me campaign.”
