Fundraising for Ronald McDonald House - Noah's (8yrs) Cancer Daignosis

This day a year ago we received the heart destroying news that our 8 year old son Noah had been diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis - a rare form of bone cancer.

We had a long road ahead of us, with multiple hospitals, tests, medications, surgeries and Doctors.

A year on and Noah is in recovery doing really well, he's at school and riding his bike with his mates and doing all things an 9 year old should, you'd never know what he's been through.

Over Noah's journey we were fortunate to have been able to stay at Ronald McDonald House in Christchurch, without their help we wouldn't have coped, the staff were like family, and volunteers fed us beautiful wholesome meals every night, and we had a warm cosy room to all be together, which meant we could focus all our energy on Noah, and to us that was everything. I cried into my meal on our first night at Ronald McDonald House, their love felt like the great big hug I needed.

So, we'd like to use this anniversary of Noah's diagnosis to give back to the Ronald McDonald House that gave so much to us. Noah spent 30 nights away from home between Christchurch Hospital, Invercargill Hospital and RMH. He is a mad keen bike rider so as a family we'd like to ride the Arrowtown river trail in our hometown of Queenstown, riding 30km for Noah's 30 nights in hospital.

If you can spare any amount of money it'd be hugely appreciated, and we thank you so much, Ronald McDonald House really is a lifeline for all families with a sick child.

“Believe in yourself and all that you are, for inside you is something greater than any obstacle can ever be”

Warmest Regards,

Liz, Jeremy, Noah and Tyler xx
