It was only by chance that medical teams found a large tumour on his brain. A GoFundMe campaign was set up for the Amery family, who are well known in the Ballina area for their involvement in CrossFit, Strongman and riding. So far it has raised more than $30,000 of its $50,000 target. Arielle Chard, who started the fundraiser, posted an update earlier this month. The family has today received a detailed diagnosis in regards to Luca s condition, she wrote.
