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.

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

Nikki and friends Arani and Charly are running the Queenstown 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.

Erin, Lachie’s Aunty is running the Whangamatā 1/2 in September all to raise money to get Lachie to Melbourne for a bucket list trip while he is stable enough to go.

We know things are tight right now, so we would appreciate even the smallest donations! ALL of the money goes to Liesje, Lachies mum, we want to fund the WHOLE trip to Melbourne for the while family.
