Raising funds for Zander
Nelson / Tasman
Help Support Brave Little Zander.
At just two years old, Zander is already showing incredible strength. Recently diagnosed with leukemia, he is now facing the toughest fight of his young life. Known for his gentle nature and bright smile, Zander should be spending his days playing and exploring the world. Instead, he is in Christchurch receiving urgent treatment.
His family is by his side every step of the way, staying close so they can support him through this journey. Zander is also surrounded by the love of his two brothers — Hunter (5) and baby Ryder — who are part of his strong and caring support network.
This fundraiser has been created to support Zander and help with the costs associated with his care during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference and help ensure Zander has the support he needs throughout his treatment.
If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page would mean so much.
Thank you for keeping Zander in your thoughts, prayer and surrounding him with love, strength, and hope.

Latest update
Zander the Brave 7 July 2026
**Update:**
Zander has recently been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL). Following his initial four weeks of treatment, his results placed him in the high-risk category, meaning he now faces a longer and more intensive multi-phase treatment plan.
As Zander and his family call the small West Coast town of Westport home, his treatment over the coming year will take place in Christchurch. This means they will be away from home for an extended period as they focus on his care.
This fundraiser has been created to help ease the financial pressures associated with Zander's treatment and support his family so they can remain together by his side throughout this journey.
We are incredibly grateful for every donation, message, and act of kindness. Your support means more than words can express and helps the family focus on what matters most—Zander's treatment and recovery.
