Please help us wrap around this family as they grieve the loss of their 3 year old.
Wellington
Magnus fought so hard for the last 18months, and together with his family they tried everything they could to beat his cancer. Unfortunately after all the fighting Magnus slipped away in his sleep 2 days before his 4th birthday. Right up to the end Magnus was a protector, sheltering is baby sister from the storms of Wellington and telling her that he would always look out for her. His fighting spirit and zest for the world around him will live on not only in his sister, but all of his family as they negotiate life without his smiling face.
This amazing family are now navigating the fact that their toddler will no longer grow up to teach his little sister to walk, and ride a bike. It has been an all consuming journey for them all and luckily Magnus's wider family have been able to come from all over the world to support throughout this tremendous battle. However they now face working out what life looks like in the future, and as they navigate this time we ask for some support to allow them unhurried time to grieve, help their families return home, and to have some much needed breathing room before having to head back to work.
Please help us wrap around this family and help them with their ongoing costs of life as they grieve the death of their baby and begin to walk forward through life again.
We are the Childspace community that surround Magnus and his whānau.

Magnus' life celebration 2 March 2026
We would like to invite you to celebrate and honour Magnus' life on Saturday, 7th March 2026 at 11 am at the chapel at 6 Norrie Street, Porirua, New Zealand.
Magnus was a very happy, energetic child so we ask you to please dress colourful, and if you have something blue or green even better.
In case you plan to bring your child(ren), please bring their favourite book, snacks and drink to keep them entertained. We will have a couple of sing-along favourite songs of Magnus to join in throughout the ceremony.
Magnus loved Bluey, Tractors, Handyman Hal, Thomas the locomotive, Paw Patrol and Moana. So if your child has some clothing with that, you can more than happily let them pick that for the ceremony.
For everyone too far away physically, we would love to have you attending through this livestream
We love you Magnus, eternally, from the depths of our hearts, every day a little more. ❤️
