Running for Jack to get lifesaving drugs in New York 🥹🍎🏃♀️
Get ‘Behind the Bear’ and help Jacks fight against neuroblastoma 💪
Whangarei, Northland
I have a special little mate called Jack. His mum Jaimee also happens to be one of my besties. Jack is 6 and has been fighting neuroblastoma cancer for the past 2 years. Jack is a legend.
Jacks next step for treatment is to head back to New York for a vaccine to prevent the cancer coming back. These are approved lifesaving drugs. This is an ongoing program for him for the next two years and obviously comes with a lot of expenses.
I’m going to run the Kerikeri half marathon on the 22nd of November for Jack. I don’t like running. It’s hard. But what’s so much harder is watching little Jack and his family fight this cruel disease.
Please help Jack by donating and supporting his fight for a lifetime. You can also follow his journey on social media and keep up to date with his progress.

Thank you 🥹🫶 26 November 2025
It was a small price to pay to run a 1/2 marathon in exchange for 57 generous donations totalling $4,160! (A special thank you to Pip who donated $500 in the early stages to get the page rolling 🙌) Thank you all so much for contributing and helping Jacks fight.
My page is now closed but you can still follow Jacks journey ‘Behind the Bear’ on socials or https://www.gofundme.com/f/fund-access-to-drugs-for-jacks-cancer-treatment
Jack has just returned home from New York. He has scans this week and if clear, it would be the longest he’s gone without chemo since being diagnosed in April 2023. All going to plan they will then go back to NYC in January for the next vaccine and continue this every few months for the next two years. Please keep him and his team in your thoughts 🤞
Thank you again. As I said after the run…it’s easy to do hard things when Jack is your inspiration ☺️
