When you get diagnosed with cancer it’s one of the scariest things to ever hear, in the space of a few minutes your future goes from bright and never ending to questionable. That’s what it was like for me Sophie Oudney a 30yr old mother of 3 (Jake 9, Luke 6, Amy 5). The first few weeks of waiting for more answers is unbearable, then one day I received a parcel in the mail…a beautiful journal about a mother’s journey and a gift card for Woolworths.

It was from two ladies Karyn and Carmen from Team Cupcake who I had never heard about before. The kindness, generosity and caring from two complete strangers has helped to give me the strength I need to fight. To know that these two ladies have gone out of their way to let me know that my life is worth fighting for, that I am not on this journey alone.

I follow these two amazing ladies and Team Cupcake on Facebook and get a lot of support and encouragement from their stories and posts. Without realising it these two ladies have become somewhat of Heroes to my family and I. These are two of the most selfless, caring and amazing ladies that despite their own sad journey with their beautiful friend Shelley have found the courage, time, love and effort for complete strangers whilst making their friends dreams become a reality.

I will always hold a special place in my heart for all of Team Cupcake including Shelley. Thank you from the bottom of my heart….
