GRACY Gerard knows the fear of being told your child cannot be treated in Fiji.

Her then nine-month-old daughter received treatment from India after doctors found she was 85 per cent affected by Leukemia.

Yesterday, Value City turned that reality into hope for others, raising $45,000 at its Wows Kids fundraiser in Suva for children battling cancer.
