This is about more than raising money. It's about giving Craig and his family the chance to focus on what matters most - making memories.

For 17 years Craig Robertson was a dedicated and respected member of New Zealand Customs. He not only contributed his skills and professionalism but was also a loyal colleague and friend to many.

At 41, Craig had to step away from the career he loved after recieving the devastating diagnosis of advanced Melanoma. Despite treatment and incredible resilience he has now exhausted all treatment options.

To show support I am taking on the challenge to running the Auckland Half Marathon 2nd of November. Every Kilometre will be run in honour of Craig's strength, courage and the impact he's had on those around him.

I have known Craig for a few years but his personality makes it feel like I've known him much longer.

Use of funds

Creating lasting memories and easing the financial pressure during this difficult time by going towards bills and living costs

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.
