Last year, eight-year-old Brooke’s mum, Krista, was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer and since that day she has remained the strongest, bravest little girl despite her mum’s battle with cancer.
‘Brooke has continued to be her beautiful self, a family team player, supportive big sister and cousin,’ said Claudia North, her nominator.
Throughout everything Brooke has supported her mum in a way a child should never have too, alongside excelling at her hobbies and at school.
Not only has Brooke suggested having her hair chopped off at a fundraiser organised by her mum, but she has also taken part in the race for life.
‘Brooke has a heart of gold and a pure soul, and I feel after the hardest year she deserves her time in the spotlight,’ said Claudia.
Despite her mum’s ongoing treatment, making her extremely sick with countless days in bed, Brooke has shown incredible maturity for her age and has helped everyone through this tough time.
