Help Cove Reach Her Next Milestone 🌸🌈🩷🦄

Cove is a bright, determined 4-year-old girl from New Zealand living with a rare genetic condition called Methaemoglobinaemia. Despite the challenges she faces daily, Cove continues to amaze us with her strength and progress.

We’re fundraising to get Cove to Centre of Movement, intensive therapy program in Rotorua. At her last intensive at NAPA in Brisbane, Cove achieved incredible milestones — she learned to weight-bear for a few moments at a time, started taking small steps in her walker, began chewing solid foods, and gained strength in sitting and crawling. These breakthroughs have been life-changing for her and our family.

With your support, we hope to build on this progress. Our goals for her next intensive include improved communication using her eye gaze device, more confidence and strength in standing, and continued development in sitting and crawling. Cove is starting school in 2026 and so we want give her the best possible start that we can and this therapy is vital to help Cove reach her full potential.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps us get one step closer to giving Cove the support she needs to thrive. Thank you for being part of her journey. 💜

Change of destination! 💖🫶🏻  16 October 2025

Fundraising has been tough this time around so we have made the decision to cancel our spot at NAPA and look at therapy closer to home. We will attend Centre of Movement in Rotorua for a 3 week intensive instead! Looking forward to the next experience and to see what Cove can achieve! Cannot thank you all enough for your donations, we appreciate you so much!!!
