Support Kelly Jack (GemKelz) as she faces terminal brain cancer. Help fund special memories & join our Christchurch fundraiser June 29 💖

Wigram, Christchurch

In January 2025, our friend Kelly Jack was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. A devoted mum to two daughters (aged 21 and 9), a wife, daughter, and loyal friend, Kelly has spent her life lifting others up with her warmth, generosity, kindness, support and gentle spirit.

Now, she’s facing the hardest journey of her 42 years of life so far... unable to work or drive, and navigating the physical, emotional, and financial challenges of her diagnosis. But through it all, Kelly remains focused on what matters most.

This Givealittle page is our way of showing up for Kelly... to ease the pressure, bring her joy, and remind her how deeply she is loved. Your donation will help cover treatment-related costs, family experiences, transport, home support, and anything that brings light to her.

🎉 We’re also hosting a FUN-Fundraiser:

📍 Mr Brightside, Christchurch

📅 Sunday 29 June | 4:00 PM

🎟️ DJs, charity auction, raffle, prizes & more!

Every dollar makes a difference. Every share spreads love. Let’s help Kelly make beautiful memories. 💕

Sending all my Love ♥️ to you and your kidlings. Back in the old school days, can't remember if it was Physics or Chemistry, I always remember dreading those classes, as I struggled, but you always helped me and also made me smile. Sending you all my Love, Anna xxxx
