The bubbly four-year-old arrived by horse and cart to a party at the Pavilion Cafe with her favourite Disney characters Minnie and Mickey Mouse. She was met by family and friends and enjoyed a party and a jumping castle, thanks to the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Remy’s father Lee Roberts said his daughter “had a blast” playing with children on the jumping castle and dining on sweet treats.

The energetic princess has been battling from Aplastic Anaemia and was forced to live in isolation for months in Melbourne following a bone marrow transplant. Mr Roberts said the family was touched by the support it had received from the community. He said there were a number of people he and his wife Gillian wanted to thank, including everyone who donated blood when Remy was ill, the Make-A-Wish foundation, staff at South West Healthcare’s Warrnambool base hospital and St John of God Pathology, everyone at the Royal Children’s Hospital and staff at the Bone Marrow Rotary House in Melbourne.

“We want to thank all of our family and friends and everyone who has supported us,” Mr Roberts said.

Above all, Mr Roberts said the family wanted to thank the person who donated the bone marrow for Remy’s transplant. He said Remy had come a long way on her journey to recovery.

Make-A-Wish general manager Sarah Downie said she was touched by the way the whole community had come together to make Remy’s wish a reality.

“Without the Warrnambool community’s help, Remy’s wish just would not have been possible,” she said.
