Support Maya Palmer and Aria Connor: Two Little Fighters with Cystic Fibrosis

$1,845 donated
Given by 33 generous donors in 5 weeks

Join us in making a difference for two local families whose babies, Maya Palmer and Aria Connor, are bravely battling Cystic Fibrosis (CF).

Green Island, Dunedin

Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic condition that affects the lungs, digestive system, and other organs. It causes thick, sticky mucus to build up, leading to respiratory issues, digestive challenges, and increased vulnerability to infections. There is currently no cure, and managing CF requires daily treatments, medications, and ongoing medical care.

For families like the Palmers and the Connors, the journey with CF is physically, emotionally, and financially challenging.

To raise funds and awareness for these two incredible little warriors the Spartans Incorporated Society is hosting a Golf and Rugby Tournament on the 14th & 15th of February. Spartans is a Dunedin based group who run an annual fundraiser for a local children facing significant health challenges. When Spartans heard of Maya and Aria’s stories, they kindly volunteered for this years fundraising efforts to be distributed between the Palmer and Connor families - for more information on the Spartans Rugby or Golf Tournament, including sponsorship opportunities, please contact spartanshq2024@gmail.com

This page has been created to raise funds for the Palmers and the Connors alongside the fundraising efforts of the Spartans run tournaments.

Both Maya and Aria are incredibly resilient, but they face a lifetime of treatments, hospital visits, and hurdles that most of us can hardly imagine.
