"50 for 50" In Memory of Rachel Lee

$4,190 of $1,000 goal
Given by 72 generous donors in 5 weeks

To honour Rachel Lee's 50th birthday, Deb Ward will walk 50km and raise money for Unicorn Foundation New Zealand.

Nationwide

On 1 June my truly fabulous friend Rachel Lee would have celebrated her 50th birthday but neuroendocrine cancer (NETs for short) cut her wonderful life too short. Rach passed away from NETs just over five years ago.

To honour Rach on such a special occasion, I will walk 50km and raise money for Unicorn Foundation New Zealand.

I’ll walk from the last place I saw Rach, at her house in Takapuna on the day she passed away, to the first place we met as kids at Glen Eden Intermediate School. Setting out at 7am to what I hope will be a beautiful winter sunrise, I’ll walk through the North Shore, across the Upper Harbour Highway and into West Auckland, hoping to finish by sunset.

The Unicorn Foundation team were wonderful to Rach while she was ill and they do so much to support patients while also advocating for better treatments and research into NETs.

Thanks for supporting the Unicorn Foundation team by sponsoring me to walk in Rach’s memory.
