Supporting Damien and family along with the Child Cancer Foundation

Nelson

On Sunday the 5th of November, members of the Nelson Alarms team will be running and walking ‘The Nelson Half’ in memory of Damien's darling daughter Amelia Hill.

Late last year Amelia was diagnosed with neuroblastoma and began an extensive treatment plan in Christchurch. With her strong will and cheeky smile Amelia battled many ups and downs.

Over this time we have watched our kind hearted friend and totally devoted dad to Amelia give his all for his daughter. We were devastated when sadly, on the 28th of July Amelia passed away at Starship Hospital with her parents by her side. Amelia would have turned two in August.

Amelia loved nature and walking outdoors, we will be honoring her memory as we push ourselves to get to the finish line on November 5.

Please consider supporting us entering this event as we aim to raise $5,000 for the family, as well as Child Cancer Foundation, and in a small way adding to Amelia’s legacy.

Child Cancer Foundation have been, and continue to be a huge support and this run/walk is also dedicated the amazing work they do.

The Nelson Half  8 November 2023

The sun was shining last Sunday for the event, where we pushed ourselves to the limit running and walking. We have been blown away by so many kind donations that keep coming in. The Nelson Weekly was there and took a group photo which I will publish when we have it.
