The only Brawn left in the competition, Flick Palmateer is making sure to give it everything she’s got.
During an emotional moment in the second last episode, Flick revealed her mother had tragically passed away during filming.
“My Mum has been one of my biggest inspirations and the very reason that I do anything in life. She taught me more than she would ever know, she still continues to teach me things even though now she’s gone,” Flick shared on Instagram alongside photos of her mum.
“I wish I had more time with you on this earth. You were taken way too soon. You’re free now Mum and there’s no more suffering, where ever you are now must be a really magic place. I will continue to live for you Mum, it’s not right that you aren’t here. I love you and miss you.”
Despite the immense loss, Flick remained in the game, knowing that would be what her mother would have wanted.
She proceeded to use her platform to raise funds for Dementia and FTD research and as of August 30, she had managed to raise $20,000.
