Support for Luanne and family while she recovers and goes through treatment.

Kerikeri, Northland

For those who have the absolute privilege of knowing Luanne, knows she is a gem as rare as they come! Full of joy, peace, love and light as a partner, mother, daughter and friend - but she also has a firecracker kick-ass personality to run a successful business as an inspirational businesswoman and chase down those goals (and you if you cross her! Haha).

In October Luanne suffered sudden severe migraines which unfortunately led to finding a large tumour, and several smaller masses in her brain. Surgery was quickly arranged to remove the large mass, which was a success, however, shortly after surgery Luanne was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Malignant Melanoma.

Luanne and her partner Jared, daughter Brianna, and surrounding family have a big road to travel to reach recovery, and are throwing everything they can at this illness, which quickly adds up on outgoing dollars! Jared has put aside his business and is now the full-time carer for Luanne. So this page is set up to help support Luanne and her family throughout this tough time - giving them one less thing to worry about!

Luanne, you are as strong as they come and we all know you can walk straight through hell with a smile!
