In December 2017, Cody Tickell who at the time was aged 11, tragically lost his older brother Blake in a horrific boating accident.
Feeling isolated and alone, Cody’s parents Darren and Simone decided to give ‘Camp Magic‘ a try to help support Cody and themselves to come to terms with their new normal. In October 2018, Cody attended his first Camp Magic program and was finally surrounded by others who get it.
Here is what Cody, Darren and Simone had to say about their experience with Feel the Magic.
This beautiful video has been put together by Feel the Magic Ambassador Dimity Clancey from Nine Entertainment. and was showcased at our most recent Night of Magic VII gala event.
This footage truly captures the mindset of a bereaved child and how they are deeply affected by such loss.
We would like to thank and acknowledge the Tickell family, for their bravery and courage for sharing their personal story of grief and loss.
