TRAGEDY: Emma Eyles and her daughter Monroe. Emma died from
inoperable bowel and liver cancer.
Crusaders jersey
auctioned for cancer
victim’s daughter
• By Susan Sandys
A WEST MELTON quiz night has raised
$2550 to help the 10-year-old daughter of
a woman who died after a shock cancer
diagnosis.
The West Melton Rugby Club was given
two Super Rugby Pacific jerseys signed by
the title winning Crusaders to auction off
as part of its annual quiz night on Friday.
Club captain Sharlene Wiseman said the
proceeds from the jersey sold for the highest
amount of money would go to Emma
Eyles’ daughter Monroe.
Eyles died aged 41 on May 28 after she
was diagnosed with inoperable bowel and
liver cancer.
She spent eight months in agonising
pain going back and forth to doctors who
told her she had irritable bowel syndrome
or a gastro bug – and sent her home with
paracetamol.
Her daughter Monroe is now adjusting
to life without her mother.
A Givealittle page created for Monroe
has raised more than $76,000 of its
$100,000 goal. Leading up to the
quiz night, the club said on social
media: “Now is the time for our community
to do all we can do to help look after
Monroe, which was Emma’s only wish
before she sadly lost her battle with bowel
cancer.”
The jerseys were donated by club sponsor
Ultimate Design and Renovation.
Wiseman said the bidding was strong
for the two jerseys, which fetched $2300
and $2000.
Quiz attendees made some cash donations
on top of the auction, pushing the
club’s total for Monroe up to $2550.
There was about 120 people at the quiz
and auction.
“Times are tough for people. I just
thought it was really awesome that people
pulled together,” Wiseman said.
Funds raised from the night are being
tallied, but are estimated to reach more
than $10,000.
