Given by 528 generous donors in 6 days

Help us raise funds to give Tamsyn a fighting chance to spend as much time as possible with her daughter Anja.

Dunedin, Otago

Tamsyn is a mother, a former triathlete and a police officer whose strength, resilience, and bravery have always defined her. Three years ago, at age 37, she was diagnosed with stage 3 triple-negative breast cancer. She fought with everything she had- strength, grit and determination, she bet the odds and was declared pathologically clear of cancer. She got her life back, returned to raising her 10-year-old daughter Anja, and completed a Wanaka half Ironman—proving her unstoppable spirit.

Now, the cancer has returned, spreading to multiple parts of her body. She has been given a terminal diagnosis with a time frame of 3-12 months. True to who she has always been, she's meeting it with strength, dignity and a focus on the people she loves the most. Her world right now is her daughter Anja.

Through it all, Tamsyn remains fiercely determined to fight and give Anja her mum for as long as possible. She cherishes precious time with her husband Glen, family, and friends, and carries the memory of her stillborn daughter, Aroha, close to her heart.
