**Please note: This episode discusses childhood illness and loss, which may be distressing for some listeners**

In this deeply moving episode, host Lee, the founder of Innovative Home Loans, sits down with Kath, the inspiring founder of Levi’s Project, a charity organisation close to the heart of the Innovative Home Loans team.

Kath shares the emotional and powerful story of her son Levi, who was diagnosed with DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma)—a rare and aggressive brain cancer. Through her honest reflections, Kath opens up about the heartbreaking impact Levi’s diagnosis had on their family, and how his courage and spirit sparked a mission to support other families facing similar battles.

Listeners will hear how Levi’s Project was born from unimaginable grief, and how it has grown into a beacon of hope and support for children and families navigating life after a DIPG diagnosis. Levi’s Project funds research and clinical trials for children with DIPG/DMG, alongside the Children's Cancer Institute and has raised $5.5 million and counting.

This episode is a tribute to Levi’s incredible legacy, and a reminder of the strength that can come from love, loss, and community. It also highlights how businesses like Innovative Home Loans are working to give back, with ongoing support for causes that matter. By trusting us with your lending, you are helping change the odds for kids facing DIPG and brain cancer, with a portion of every loan we assist in being donated to Levi’s Project.
