The St Kilda schoolgirl Kimberley Ametoglou is fighting a battle against cancer.
Duthie made headlines in 2010 and 2011 after leaking nude photos of St Kilda players and being caught in a hotel room with Ricky Nixon.
She now lives in Queensland and her parents have set up a GoFundMe page called Kimberley’s Fight for Life.
“Our beloved bubbly girl Kimberley has been silently fighting a battle with cervical cancer since she was first diagnosed on the 23rd of August 2019,’’ the page reads.
“We have recently learned in the last weeks that her treatments and medications have not been successful in slowing down the growth of her cancer and it has now been upgraded to stage 4A and has spread to her kidneys and rectum as well. She will now undergo intensive IV chemotherapy to try and kill the active cells and stop it spreading to her lungs.”
Ametoglou’s mother Susan is posting updates on her condition. She has a two year-old son and is a single mother who was running a beauty salon before the COVID-19 crisis.
“Kimberley has had to close her salon due to the coronavirus so she has no income and does not receive child support for her son,’’ her mother wrote.
Over $4000 has been raised so far with a goal of $15,000.
