When Zach first started complaining that his knees hurt, doctors and physios thought it was just growing pains. But before long, Zach started to lose the ability to walk. 

His mum knew for such an active kid, something wasn’t right. 

And in October last year, the doctors confirmed the worst…Zach was diagnosed with Pre-B Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. 

But this brave little guy is a fighter! He’s already battled through lumbar punctures, bone marrow aspirations, and so many more scary treatments…all with a smile on his face.

He’s been at the House with us for 106 nights so far, but Zach’s got a long road ahead of him.

And being able to keep his family close is making all the difference in the world.

So, will YOU walk for sick kids like Zach?

Presenting to the hospital with high temperatures, distended stomach, and loss of appetite, Hudson's parents, Alyssa and Matthew, were unsure of what they were about to face. 

After numerous blood tests, x-rays as well as ultrasounds, doctor's were quick to come to a heart-breaking conclusion.

Hudson had acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (t-cell). 

With a 9-month expected stay at the House, Alyssa says "This was our saving grace. We couldn't afford to stay in a motel or rent out a new place. The support we have received is second to none." 

Hudson continues to smash through his treatment with the biggest smile and with strong hopes of moving out to the farm and participating in his favourite activites.
