Ella's biggest challenge

  • Shave for cancer

      29 October 2016

    ThIs coming Monday 31st October Ella's dad Marty and some close friends Mike and Ruth Ryburn are shaving their heads for cancer. This coincides with Ella's end of treatment after a long, difficult 10 months. The race is then on to see who's hair grows back the quickest! Who is your money on; Ella, Marty, Ruth or Mike?? All donations for the shave are going to Child Cancer Foundation and Canteen - two fabulous charities who provide support to young cancer warriors and their families. So far $2,500 has been donated! Just fantastic - thank you so much everyone for your generosity. Photos of the event will be posted once the shave off has taken place. Happy halloween everyone!

    Ella's family wish to thank everyone for their generous donations and kind messages. They really are so grateful to each and every one of you.

    Ella is now back home with her family and receiving ongoing treatment at Wellingon hospital. The next step will be back down to Christchurch for surgery to have her kidney removed followed by more treatment. It's a long road but for now this amazingly resilient girl is still smiling and making really good progress - even managing the odd day at school.
