Beakers Biggest Challenge

$7,893 donated
Given by 70 generous donors in around 6 months

Beaker and her family need our support more now than ever during the battle that nobody wants have to fight.

Woodend, Canterbury

Karen Giles who many of you know as Beaker is currently fighting the biggest battle of her life to date, The Big "C". She has held many a hand, wiped many a tear, fed many a mouth, had many a laugh with more kids and rugby players than any of us will ever know through their years at one of her and wife Wendy's favourite places Woodend Rugby Club along with the role of caregivers.

These two ladies have a close knit wee family who have felt the news hit them really hard. Beaker is and would be one of the best and loyal sideline supporters of any sport.

Get out there and be the best supporter and show the "Opposition" that this is a battle that the Giles family and the rest of Woodend won't back down from.

I am one of many lucky enough who has gotten to know this awesome family over the years and want to see Beaker and Wendy get what they deserve. It's our time to pay back.

Use of funds

All funds will be spent to help with hospital travel expenses, time off work for the family and anything else that Beaker might find comfort in.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
