Creating memories for families navigating life-threatening illnesses on Spain’s sunshine coast

IT was a hellish year for Rachel McFadden in 2024. In the same month, the local wedding planner was diagnosed with breast cancer and her father faced terminal lung cancer.
While battling her own diagnosis, her father passed away that summer.
McFadden said she was lucky enough to be able to step back from her wedding business, slow down to grieve and spend quality time with her family. “But it was still such a hard year, even though we were able to do all those things,” she said.
