A mother's struggle: The true story of Gina Hayward
A heartbreaking story of a young mother's fight for survival
By Aaron Bunch AAP
When John Hayward was born in January 1976, his mother Gina was just 21 and already working in her family's business. But little did she know that her life was about to take a dramatic turn.
Just months after John's birth, Gina's husband was killed in a car accident. Devastated and alone, she was left to raise her young son on her own. But Gina was determined to provide a good life for her son, and she worked tirelessly to make ends meet.
As John grew older, Gina's health began to deteriorate. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a debilitating disease that affects the central nervous system. Despite her illness, Gina continued to work and care for John. But as her condition worsened, she was forced to give up her job and rely on government assistance.
In 2003, Gina was diagnosed with cancer. She underwent surgery and chemotherapy, but the cancer spread to her brain. In 2006, Gina passed away at the age of 51. John was just 30 years old.
Gina Hayward was a loving mother and a strong woman who never gave up on her dreams. Despite the challenges she faced, she always put her son first. Her story is an inspiration to us all.
