Dear Taylor Swift, can you send a birthday message to our Millie?

It’s Millie Trustum’s 14th birthday on Saturday, July 26.

After being cancer-free for six years, Millie has been diagnosed with an incurable high grade glioma.

Millie and her family who live at Tatham, raised $90,000 for the Kids Cancer Project in the years she was cancer-free.

Millie held morning teas, bingo, sold dolls’ clothes knitted by her grandmother and even danced with her mother at Casino’s Dancing with the Stars raising money for the Cancer Council.

Millie’s parents Erica and Kevin said they weren’t sure what to get her for her birthday.

They thought they’d see if they could get a message from Taylor Swift by putting the word out on social media.

Millie went to the Eras Tour concert in Sydney last year and loved it.

Millie the fan.

If you read this Taylor, could you send a message to Millie? She’s on Facebook at Little Trusty’s Big Journey.

In between radiation treatment (Millie needs 30 treatments) Millie is ticking things off her bucket list.

When Millie has her treatment, she wears a mask to protect her face and the mask is decorated with words from Taylor Swift songs.

This week, she’s been to Australia Zoo. She’s already been whale watching, played golf, had a ride in a police car and been on a helicopter.

Millie visited Australia Zoo, which was on her bucket list.

There is an online fundraiser for Millie too. Go here to donate.

Hang in there, Millie, the whole community is thinking of you.

Millie has already done some of the things on her bucket list.
