Vir has been waging an incredibly tough battle for the past three years.
In 2023, he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) and endured 18 months of intensive chemotherapy. Just as his family hoped the hardest days might be behind them, another devastating diagnosis came in February 2025 – Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), a serious bone marrow disorder and precursor to leukaemia.
In April 2025, Vir underwent a bone marrow transplant, with his older brother selflessly stepping forward as his donor.
Disappointingly, in January 2026, Vir was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). Despite this devastating diagnosis, he remains a beacon of light, energy and hope.
It’s both remarkable and inspirational that after years of relentless treatment, Vir continues to face this battle with extraordinary courage, surrounded by the unwavering love and strength of his family.
Vir and his family will enjoy a Sydney staycation and a gastronomic experience at one of Sydney’s finest buffets, which is just what Vir requested, being the cute little foodie that he is.
Vir’s entire experience was kindly donated by a member of our MOAM community, who wishes to remain anonymous, but who, upon hearing about Vir’s story, was very touched and inspired to sponsor this MOAM Moments getaway.
We can’t thank this sponsor enough for their kindness & for their generosity – it’s what makes our MOAM community so incredibly special.
