She's still SpongeBob Squarepants number 1 all time fan, loves listening, singing and dancing to Hip Hop music!! Cherokee enjoys kicking back with her younger brother Cuba-Lennox(9) playing games on their PS2, and laughing heaps while jumping on the trampoline!!

Cherokee has 3 older siblings brothers Kingston 19, Bronson 18 and sister Cheyenne 17. Mum and Kingston enjoy working for TIP TOP ICECREAM on the factory floor and Dad works tirelessly for Works Infrastructure in commercial building.

Cure Kids is funding ground breaking research into a vaccine for brain tumours. Although this vaccine may not be available in time for Cherokee, it gives her and her family hope that other children in the future may not have to go through all the operations, heartache, and pain that Cherokee continually lives with.
