“She just had a zest for life and loved people,” Jill said.

But a routine dental appointment for her wisdom teeth changed everything.

“After about a week or two weeks she was in more pain than before they came out,” Jill said.

“They did a biopsy and they discovered she had a cancer in her jaw.”

Bella began chemotherapy at Sydney’s Chris O’Brien Lifehouse.

Through it all Bella’s spirit remained unbreakable.

In her honour, Bella’s loved ones are coming together for the Go The Distance fitness fundraiser this September.
