George FM Surf Reporter Gav's Son Oscar, had fought so hard, for so long to be cancer-free, and that sadly is no longer the case, AML (Leukaemia) cells are present again in Oscar's bone marrow.
Child Cancer Foundation is dedicated to supporting the families every step of the way, helping them overcome challenges and maintain control of their lives, and are supporting Oscar, Gav and the family, so we've chosen Child Cancer Foundation as the Charity to raise money for.

Every week in Aotearoa, three families are told the heartbreaking news that their child has cancer.
Child Cancer Foundation, a National Charity Partner of the MediaWorks Foundation, focuses on the whānau, not the cancer. No two families’ experiences are the same, and neither is the nature of the support they need.
