We have created this page to ask for help and support during the toughest journey our family has ever faced. Please help support Myahs fight

Auckland

Our beautiful 16-year-old daughter Myah is now fighting to live her life after a heartbreaking cancer diagnosis that turned her world upside down. Overnight, everything that made her a normal, happy teenager was taken away, hanging out with friends, going shopping, baking, laughing, and especially the one thing that lights up her entire heart, horse riding.

Horses are not just a hobby for Myah they are her passion, her therapy, and her future dream. Being with them every single day brought her joy, purpose, and comfort. Now, the simple act of visiting the paddock has become something she can only hope for as she battles through rounds of chemotherapy, medical procedures, and major surgeries. Her once everyday routine has become a dream she is fighting desperately to return to.

Cancer has taken so much from her already her independence, her energy, her horse riding, and her normal teenage life. Yet through every setback, every treatment, every painful day, Myah shows strength, courage, and determination far beyond her years. She is fighting with everything she has for the chance to get her life back.

Every donation will go directly towards supporting Myahs hopes and dreams especially her dream of returning to her horses

Your kindness will make a real difference in Myah’s fight, every contribution is a step towards giving her the future she deserves.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with Myah, believing in her, and helping us fight for her life and her dreams.

Use of funds

All funds raised will go towards any future unfunded treatments, medications, and trials Myah might need for Osteosarcoma bone cancer, and future unfunded treatments throughout her recovery. A Page Update will be posted once these treatments have been confirmed. Any excess funds will be used to acquire a suitable type of horse for Myah, so she can fulfill her dream of having her life back with horses and happiness.

Myahs update and sincere thanks ❤️  26 March 2026

We are so incredibly grateful to our beautiful Pohutukawa Coast community, family, friends our equestrian family and everyone for the love, kindness, and support you have all shown Myah and our family.

The generosity and care that has surrounded us over this time has meant more to us than we can put into words. There are so many people to thank  for the messages, the help, the meals, the encouragement, and the constant support and every single act of kindness has made a difference.

Myah has been so touched and surprised by the outpouring of love. Your messages have lifted her spirits, given her strength, and filled her with the positive energy she needs to keep fighting this tough battle.

She is now nearing the end of her chemotherapy, which feels like a huge milestone. However, we still have a significant journey ahead, with a major operation scheduled for April .

We know the road ahead won’t be easy, but having such an incredible community and support team behind us gives us strength, hope, and courage.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing beside us. We feel so lucky to be part of such a caring and compassionate community.

With love and gratitude,
Myah,Lisa,Lee,Hannah and Jade 🙏❤️

2% Effective Fee
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.
