EXCLUSIVE
Nicole Finch gave birth to her first child and was over the moon… four months later a shock diagnosis has turned the new mum’s life upside down
- Detective sergeant Nicole Finch diagnosed with cancer
- She only gave birth to her first child four months ago
- A NSW Police Legacy fundraiser has been set up to support her
A cop is fighting for her life after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer just months after giving birth to her first child.
Detective Sergeant Nicole Finch, from Sydney, was on maternity leave after giving birth in August when she was diagnosed with stage four cancer.
NSW Police are rallying around her to help raise funds to support her as she undergoes treatment.
‘[She is] undergoing urgent treatment in hospital,’ Inspector Alison Beeche wrote in a NSW Police Legacy fundraising page.
‘Funds raised will go directly to supporting Nicole’s treatment, providing much needed support to her family, and establishing a brighter future for her son.’
Detective Sergeant Finch joined the NSW Police Force in 2005 and was stationed at Cabramatta before becoming a detective four years later.
She was promoted to the rank of Detective Sergeant in 2017 before going on to work in State Crime Command in areas including Drug Squad, Chemical Operations Team, Crime Operations and Financial Crime.
Earlier this year, she moved to her current role in People Strategy and Engagement, where she works in the newly created Career Advisory Team as a Career Advisor.
The fundraiser has been shared hundreds of times since it was launched on Tuesday.
Detective sergeant Finch‘s sister Kim shared an update on her sibling’s treatment on Tuesday, revealing the family is grateful for the support of the friends and the community.
‘Round two – Here we go,’ she wrote on Facebook.
‘We will fight and win this round also.
‘Our hearts are broken and our lives are torn apart at this news. But we have hope, faith and love and the support of our family and friends that will help us fight along the way!’
Members of Sloths Dragonboat racing club in Pyrmont, where the detective sergeant is a competitive paddler, have also rallied to get behind the cause.
Fellow paddler Andrew Chan urged members of the community to help support her as she faces the fight of her life.
‘She is the 23rd member of the successful Opens crew whilst Nic drummed through the season,’ he wrote.
‘If you are able, please support her and her family!’
Former police officer Anthony Loxley ( # 38198 ) also urged members of the public to assist detective sergeant Finch during this tough time.
‘Please help this great mum and Sgt of Police if you can,’ he wrote.
The fundraiser has attracted more than $16,700 in 24 hours – smashing its $5000 goal.
UPDATE 18 December 2024: We are deeply saddened to relay the news that Nicole has passed away. Thank you to everybody for your support and well wishes. The money raised in this appeal will go towards helping to raise Nicole’s son, and keeping her memory alive.
