She will embark on another trek in June, continuing to fulfill the travel wishlist planned with her daughter.

Lake Illawarra’s Jaime Harrison was diagnosed with cancer in July 2008, eventually losing her battle with metatastic melanoma and dying peacefully at home on May 28, 2009.

Prior to her death she established the Live. Love. Laugh Foundation.

She was concerned that young adults between 19-30 years of age were not given as much support as other age groups and wanted to start a foundation to help them make a wish come true.

Mother and daughter had planned a world trip following Jaime’s diagnosis, but as her condition worsened, she was unable to travel.

In her will, Jaime left funds to continue the foundation’s activities, as well as a travel allowance for her mother to complete the travel quest.

“She made me promise to still do the trip with all the places on the list,” Debbie, 51, said.

Therefore, she spent more than half of 2010 visiting countries throughout Europe, Africa and Asia - placing Jaime’s ashes throughout her favourite cities.

This included a few months volunteering in Kimuka, Kenya, teaching English and Mathematics to children.

She will head to Morocco and the UK in June.

“It’s all been bittersweet,” Debbie said.

“I’ve always loved travelling and I’ve seen a lot of places I never thought I’d see...It’s exciting to experience all the things I have, but very emotional that she wasn’t there to share it with me, and (knowing) that if she hadn’t died I probably never would have had the opportunity.”

The trip to Morocco will be a highlight, as Jaime wished for some of her ashes to be scattered in Casablanca due to her love of the film of the same name.

“I have been her eyes, so she has been there all the way sharing it with me,” Debbie said.

Aside from ticking off items on the list, Debbie’s own travels have been eventful. She contracted dengue fever after being bitten by a mosquito during a visit to Bali late last year.

“Probably only in the past two weeks I’ve felt better,” she said. “I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.”

As well as gradually working her way through the list of travel destinations, after a quiet 2011 Debbie hoped to kick-start the foundation’s activities again in 2012.

“I can’t do it on my own,” she said.

“I need some help or corporate funding; I’ve been trying my best to keep it going.

“It’s something Jaime felt so strongly about and was her legacy.”
