Help little Chase Porter's Mum and Dad be with him full time as he fights his big battle.

Waikato

Beautiful Chase Porter came into this world a healthy boy on the 25th March 2017. Devastatingly for all his Family and friends he has had a pretty tough start to his life. At only 2 weeks old Chase was admitted to Waikato Hospitals Newborn Intensive Care Unit. After things looked to be getting better, a sharp decline in his health meant during Easter Weekend, Chase and Mum, Kelsi, were flown to Starship Hospital in Auckland. Chase has since been diagnosed with LVNC, which is an inoperable condition where the muscles in the ventricles of the heart are spongey and unable to work efficiently. Specialists in Starship are trying to find medications to support Chase, but as LVNC is normally diagnosed in older people, where it slowly progresses it is solely a case of trial and error with medications.

Andrew and Kelsi have a huge support network of Family and friends and at this hard time need everyone to rally together and show their love and support.

Fight Hard Chase- We are all here fighting with you.
