Cathy Leigh DONNEY 02A - NSWPF 39113 - Died 2 April 2026 — Cathy Leigh DONNEY

Hi my name is Schooner and I am raising funds for a wonderful and heartfelt situation concerning a friend ‘Cath Donney’.

Everyday members of the emergency services put their lives on the line to protect and serve our community. Cath Donney is a 21 year general duties veteran and Sergeant of the NSW Police Force. Cath has minimal support re family assistance.

After many years of wanting to become a mother, Cath’s lifelong dream was finally realised with the arrival of her beautiful son ‘Cooper’ (2019).

The first diagnosis of Cancer

In 2021 Cath was diagnosed with stage 4 triple negative breast cancer. After countless rounds of radiation, chemotherapy and surgery she entered remission in early 2023. The following months were spent creating quality moments with Cooper.

Second diagnosis of Cancer

In September 2023 scans revealed a tumour in her brain. Cath underwent surgery and the tumour was removed successfully. However, in March 2024 the cancer had spread into Cath’s brain and her spine. Chemotherapy and radiation have commenced.

The situation currently

Cath and Cooper are currently surrounded by the love and support of close friends and work colleagues. She is receiving help with meals, lots of visits, house cleaning and lots of play dates for her son. Cooper is an amazing young boy who is a kind, affectionate and gentle young man despite all the challenges of mum being ill. He is a testament to the love that Cath embodies.

How the funds will help Cath and why this is so important

No longer being able to work Cath has had to use her life savings to keep her and Coop afloat amidst the extra costs due to being unwell. She now needs financial help.

Cath did not want any fundraising

When approached about this idea, Cath was totally against the concept of any fundraiser. She has always been an independent strong-willed individual never relying on any person whatsoever. Her response to this fund raiser was ‘Other people need this more than me’. Even though her diagnosis is serious Cath still does not feel deserving of any handout or financial assistance.

Thank you in advance to any donation, big or small. Every cent raised will be given to Cath and Cooper to assist with their ongoing expenses, and also set up a trust account for Coopers future.
