‘Trip of a lifetime’: How brave Oli Roberts’ snowy dream finally came true after a seven-year cancer battle

Key points

• Eleven-year-old Oli Roberts has seen snow for the first time, a wish granted by Make-A-Wish Australia and Telethon. Oli was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia at two-and-a-half years old and spent three and a half years on chemotherapy.
• His family travelled from Busselton to Mount Hotham in Victoria, where the children played in the snow and Oli tried snowboarding.
• Oli reached five years since finishing treatment on June 13 this year and is officially cured, his mother says.
