Overview

  • Clare McCann's 13-year-old son, Atreyu, took his own life on May 23, 2025, after enduring severe bullying at a NSW public school.
  • McCann has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise $300,000 for the cryopreservation of Atreyu's body, with a seven-day deadline to complete the process.
  • As of May 26, 2025, the campaign has raised just under $3,000, far from its target, with funds also intended for legal and medical services.
  • Any additional funds raised beyond the goal will support a national anti-bullying campaign and legal action against institutions McCann holds accountable for negligence.
  • McCann has pledged to use her platform to advocate for systemic change in addressing bullying and to prevent similar tragedies for other families.
