Elisha Neave loses cancer battle

A brave mum who touched the hearts of many with her courageous battle against cancer has died.

Inspirational Elisha Neave, who had a rare and deadly gene that predisposed her to breast and ovarian cancer, lost her fight this week and passed away surrounded by her family and loved ones.

Woman’s Day reported on the 36 year olds courageous story last year and our thoughts are with her beautiful little boy Jack, partner Brendan, sisters Chrissy and Veronica, and her sweet mum and brothers.

Elisha’s funeral will be held on Monday.

Anyone wishing to offer the family help can do so at helpelisha.com.au or Elisha Neave Health Fund on Facebook.

Elisha’s story will also be highlighted during a special episode of 60 Minutes on Sunday night.
