Rik was diagnosed with serious throat cancer in March this year. He began treatment at the end of May, and this will continue until he improves. He still has a long way to go with weeks of treatment and recovery ahead.

Use of funds

During this time, when Riks out of action, we'd like to make life a bit easier for him.

Wayne Elliott will be collecting donations until the campaign is done, then 100% of all donations will go to Rik and help him financially through this hard time.

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.
