Please join together with Race4life and all Don's friends to help make this dream holiday come true! What can you do now? Time is short.

Auckland

We are urgently raising funds for our friends Don and Denise and in support of their RACE4LIFE application for a dream holiday. Don has been battling stage 4 cancer for the past 10 years supported by Denise. They have endured enough over that time with multiple chemotherapies, radiation therapy and major surgery... in the middle of all this a daughter who underwent a bilateral lung transplant.

Despite all that they have gone through this couple continues to give out in support of others, whether it's welcoming visitors to church, serving in a local soup kitchen or simply encouraging or mentoring others, they are truly inspiring and we believe deserving of a dream holiday.

But we only have three weeks to get the funds together. So we need your help before 17th March.

Don and Denise heard of RACE4LIFE through the local hospice. They are a charitable trust that tries to make dream holidays come true for those in palliative care. As Don's cancer is now advancing, it's unlikely that he and Denise will have much time left to enjoy together so Don put forward an EPIC DREAM Holiday to RACE4LIFE, realizing that they probably wouldn't be able to grant everything on the wish list...

Long story short, we think Don and Denise absolutely deserve that EPIC DREAM holiday and we'd like you to join us in helping to make a dream come true...

We're looking to raise five thousand dollars to contribute towards this EPIC cause, Also, we'd like to thank you in advance for your generous support.

Wow, thank you so much! We did it!  16 March 2020

What an amazing thing it is to be a part of this. Through your generous giving we have achieved a whopping $5837 for Don & Denise. They have been overwhelmed with your love, generosity and kind words. Thank you so much for being a part of this and making a difference to two awesome people. Although the road ahead is currently uncertain in so many ways, this give a little page has done more than just raise money for Don & Denise. They have both experienced an indescribable sense of being loved by people (even "strangers") beyond that which they have known before.
