      We're so sorry for your loss. It's hard to know what to say but we're thinking of you. (Sue, mum to Lily T in room 19.)

    Our 11-year old son Morne has been diagnosed with Acute lymphoblastic leukemia back in April of last year. At the time of diagnosis, Morne has been classified as a high-risk patient due to his leukemia chromosome count being very low. Morne went through intensive chemo last year and reached maintenance cycle of the chemo at the start of this year.

    Morne had a few tests recently to determine the reason why he is experiencing pain when doing exercises. He also developed high temperatures and ended up in hospital. The doctors run some test and confirmed with a bone marrow biopsy that Morne has relapse Leukemia and will need to receive a bone marrow transplant. Morne and his mum will need to travel to Auckland Starship hospital for the bone marrow transplant.

    Morne is known by so many people for the gorgeous smile he has, something that makes this long road to recover so much easier.

    Funds raised will be used to support Morne and his family with expenses during the time of his bone marrow transplant.
