Make A Wish Porsche Day

The boys were invited to the Make A Wish Porsche day on Sunday to display the remote control electric cars. Shane and Brent jumped at the chance to give something back to a very worthwhile cause. Liam and I went along to look at all the cars, they were amazing. Very expensive and shiny. We had a wonderful morning out in the sun at the carpark in Highgate. I had lots of fun taking lots of photos and dreaming of a lotto win!!!

Thank you to Porsche Club WA for running such a wonderful event for all the Make A Wish families, there were 80 different families there on the day and 100 porsches showed up to take the families on a wonderful car ride from Hillaries to Perth. The Hyatt then put on a wonderful lunch for the drivers and the families. I am sure a good times was had by everyone.

Drool over these photos, just amazing!!!

Thomas Family Story

Our family has been together since Vanya and Shane met back in December 1983. We got married in 1989 and had our first beautiful boy Brent in June 1993. James came along in April 1996 and Liam surprised us all when he arrived in December 1997. We have lived in Jane Brook since August 2000 and love it. Our lives changed in January 2007 when James was diagnosed with a Brain Tumor. We underwent surgery, then had 7 1/2 weeks of Radiation and 6 months of Chemotherapy. James has not had treatment for all of 2008. We have MRI scans every three months to check and make sure everything is ok. Unfortunately in the October scan has showed that James' cancer has returned. With all the intense treatment James had last year, unfortunately there is not much that they can do. So we will fill our time together with fun, laughter, happiness and love.
We came to the hardest part in our family journey in February 2009. James' fight against Cancer came to an end on Tuesday the 10th. He fought a good fight. He will be with us always.
