Weedons’ premier and colts teams wore one-off jerseys in games on January 24, featuring designs created by Keira and her younger sister Evelyn in the foundation’s blue, orange and pink colours.
The jerseys were later auctioned online, raising $2230 for the foundation.
“I don’t think there’s enough words to express the gratitude that we have as a family for them,” D’Arcy said.
“They’ve been with us every step of the way, always offering to help.”
Keira, now 10, was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare cancer affecting soft tissue, in May 2023.
After treatment she was cancer-free for two years before the cancer returned in October last year. She is continuing treatment.
D’Arcy, her husband Hamish – who plays for Weedons’ premier side – and their family presented the foundation with a cheque and donated jersey last week.
D’Arcy thanked Weedons player-coach Jeremy Benton, who organised the custom jerseys, along with everyone who contributed to the fundraiser.
