Adele and her young family need our support as they fight the stage 4 cancer battle ❤️

Papakura, Auckland

Adele has been a friend of mine for 20+ years.

At the young age of 36, with an 17 month old daughter and a 3 month old son, Adele has recently had the shock of her life being diagnosed with the horrible disease we all hate so much - stage 4 cancer (bowel and lymph nodes - braf mutation).

As stubborn and as strong as Adele is (and always has been🙈), her and her beautiful family need some help to relieve the financial pressure they now face as they embark on their healing journey.

With multiple appointments, non funded treatment option discussions, loss of two incomes while Shane, Adele's loving husband, steps up to help at home, anything we can raise will make a huge difference now and in the future.

Unfortunately, only a few months before being diagnosed, Adele cancelled their life insurance policy that they had held for 10 years to try and help relieve financial stress and pay off some debt.

Adele has always been so supportive and giving to others, so now is our time to give back to her❤️

You have got this Adele! 💪

With love x  11 January 2025

It is with much sadness that I am updating this page one last time before it closes for good next week..

On the 14th of December 2024, our beautiful Adele gained her angel wings after nearly a year long battle with cancer. She fought so hard right until the end for her husband, babies and family.

A friend shared a quote with me a month or so ago that I will never forget 'Death may leave a heartache no one can heal but love leaves a memory that no one can steal.'

Adele is already so missed, we think about you every single day.

Thank you all so very very much for all of your generous support over the past 12 months. The difference the money raised for Adele and her family was life changing.

Rest in love my beautiful friend x
