Every $5 = 1km for Jay — Supporting his battle with Stage 4 Ewing Sarcoma

Nationwide

Our brother Jay was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Ewing sarcoma cancer and is now facing an incredibly tough journey of treatment and recovery.

As a group, we wanted to do something practical and meaningful to show our support — so we’re turning donations into kilometres. For the next month, we will run 1 kilometre for every $5 donated.

That means:

$5 = 1km

$50 = 10km

$100 = 20km

$500 = 100km

All kilometres will be completed and tracked through outdoor and treadmill runs (or walks). I'll be sharing everyones run logs on my Instagram (@pattymarsters) so you can follow the journey.

The funds raised will go directly to Jay and his family to help support them through treatment costs and day-to-day expenses during this period.

If you’re not in a position to donate, sharing this page helps more than you know.

Thank you for your support — every dollar and every kilometre counts.

Jay has been a brother of ours since we all started at Sacred Heart College in 2017

Use of funds

Funds will go directly to Jay to help cover unfunded cancer treatment & medical procedures, travel for family support, and essential living expenses while he undergoes chemotherapy, radiation and recovery.

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.
