Nationwide

Hey donors!

Unfortunately, Cancer, a word we all know well, is the second most common cause of death, after traffic accidents for children aged 1-14 year-olds. Treatment most often requires intensive treatments conducted over extended periods causing considerable stress on the child and their whanau. While we can't help with all stress, we can at least help alleviate any financial stress. Many child cancer survivors will experience long-term adverse health effects as a result of their cancer and treatments. We hope our fundraising will help to improve the quality of life of tamariki and their whānau while fighting Cancer and its effects by giving financial assistance towards support and further treatments.

Thomas, Will, and Olly are three 17-year-olds from Tauranga hoping to make a difference in their community while embarking on an ambitious challenge across New Zealand. They plan on being the first to travel a multi-sport route from the East Cape to Cape Egmont, a distance of over 800km. The boys hope to complete the trip in around 3 weeks all while raising funds for young cancer patients.

$20k!  10 December 2024

Thank you all for helping us reach an unbelievable $20,000 raised. This number is absolutely mindblowing and the donations sure helped us through the trip. As of 10:56am on Saturday 7th December, we completed Cape to Cape. We also set a new record for anyone to go out and beat! It was a journey of a lifetime and we can not express the gratitude we are feeling towards our sponsors and donors who have made this incredible event possible.

Thanks to you all!

The trip is far from over though as we still have another $30,000 to raise! We won't stop until the goal is reached!
