To raise money so that Dion Christie can tick off his bucket list and make more memories with his whanau.
Southland
Dion Christie (51), a loving husband to Val and a devoted father of 7, the two youngest only being 3 & 5 was diagnosed in August with incurable stage 4 cancer in several places.
This is not the first time this whanau has battled cancer - In 2017 Zavier, Val and Dion's daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor and after an 8 month long battle was in remission until a routine scan in August 2018 showed that the cancer had returned aggressively and in December 2018 Zavier passed away aged 12.
Since being diagnosed Dion has ticked some items of his bucket list such as:
Marrying Val after 26 years together, Celebrating his son's 5th birthday and having a big family Christmas in Christchurch with all his children and grandchildren.
BUT there are still things he wishes to do including: taking his youngest children to Te Whaiti/Minginui to see their Marae, Awa, Maunga and Whenua. Planning \designing Zavier's headstone and making more memories with his whanau.
Any excess funds will be used to support Val and Dion's whanau in the future.
This whanau is very appreciative and grateful for any support that you are able to give them.
Dion Christie is my brother in law.
The money will be spent on ticking the remaining items off Dion Christie's bucket list and making more memories with his whanau.
