A marathon for Lachie Love's Bucket List!

Lachie is 9, he has a terminal brainstem tumour called a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). When diagnosed kids are usually given a prognosis of 9 months, and families are told to go home and make memories. It’s brutal and still there is no known cure. This fundraiser is to help give Lachie some fun experiences and create lasting memories for the family.

Diagnosed December 2022, Lachie is feisty and he has outlived the the 9 months. Lachie’s whānau, Mum Liesje, Dad Andy and younger bro Harry have been through the wringer.

In return for your donations Erin, Lachie’s Aunty is running the Whangamatā 1/2 in September and Nikki and Frank are running the Queenstown 1/2 Marathon on the 16th of November. Liesje is Nikki’s bestie. Lach and Finn, Nikki’s son are two months apart in age and Nikki’s twins Kate and Isla, and Harry are the same age.

We know things are tight right now, so we would appreciate even the smallest donations! ALL of the money goes to Liesje, Lachies mum, so far the money has already funded a trip to Melbourne for the while family. Since then there has been expeditions such as to museums, going to meet a gang of husky’s.
