Leo is ten years old, in Year 6 at Maraetai Beach School, a Beachlands Maraetai AFC goalie, Auckland FC's biggest fan, a best mate to Lewis and Nicky and an all round great kid.

Leo had been receiving physio treatment for a sore leg when an xray was recommended and very quickly, he and his family heard a word that sounds big and scary: cancer. Over the April school holidays, Leo was diagnosed with BCor Sarcoma which is a rare, aggressive undifferentiated small round cell tumor and he is now starting 14 rounds of chemotherapy, as well as radiation therapy, before potential surgery.

In just three weeks, Leo and his mum, Cushla, have had their lives turned upside down. This page has been set up by friends of Cushla and Leo to offer financial support during this difficult time.

Use of funds

All money raised will support Cushla and Leo with living costs while he undergoes treatment.

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.
