Fundraising for Myeloma NZ

Waikato

+1 image

In 2022, my world came tumbling down when I received a life-changing diagnosis of multiple myeloma, bone marrow blood cancer. I knew I had a very hard journey ahead of me to fight this harder survive cancer, and it's been a very tough road.

Finally, I feel strong enough to head off and challenge myself to raise much-needed funds for the Multiple Myeloma Society of New Zealand.

OK, so I know you're thinking, what's she up to now? Well, here goes. I'm going to fly to Bhutan where I will do four hikes. The highest and toughest will be my climb to Tiger Nest Monastery.(3210m /10000feet high)above sea level.

This entire trip is self funded and all donations will go directly to MM Cancer Society of New Zealand.

September 2026-it's happening!

starting in Bhutan, I will undertake three hikes to acclimatize… before taking on the incredible hike to Tiger’s Nest Monastery.

But I’m not stopping there.

Next stop will be China

Climbing Tieman Mountain — 4,982 ft and 999 steps… the Stairway to Heaven.

This isn’t just a trip.

It’s a challenge, a fight, and a fundraiser for the Multiple Myeloma Society.

Let’s do this 💛

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
