Getting our walk/run on to raise money for Starlit Hope to help spread the Christmas Love across Child Cancer wards in NZ
Taranaki
Over the course of the month 9 of us (all cousins of Gabby) are aiming to walk/run/row 1000kms to raise money for Starlit Hope. This is a cause really close to our hearts and we would really appreciate any donations. All donations will be used to create Christmas Boredom boxes and spread the Christmas love across Oncology wards throughout NZ.
Starlit Hope is a charity founded by Gabby Devine who passed away in 2015 aged 13 years. While she was in remission in 2014 she created this charity to provide 'Boredom boxes' and random acts of kindness to children who were going through cancer treatment, their families and the staff at the oncology wards throughout NZ (especially at Starship Hospital and New Plymouth). She knew first-hand how boring it can be in hospital and wanted to make a difference to other people’s lives.
Starlit HOPE was founded by my cousin Gabby Devine, she really touched my heart by her generosity and kindness.
Updating Goal 5 November 2018
Updating our goal so that Starlit Hope can do even more this Christmas.Here is what they HOPE to raise enough funds to do this Christmas:
* Christmas breakfast for parents on Starship Child Cancer Ward and Gabby's local hospital Taranaki Children's Ward.
* Special Christmas Boredom Bags to give to kids in hospital throughout December to Starship Child Cancer Ward, Christchurch Child Cancer Ward and Taranaki Children's Ward . We would LOVE to raise enough to send some bags to Wellington Hospital also.
