Hamioras 2km dash for Sands bay of plenty

Kia ora whānau, friends and community :)

My name is Aria, I am a mum of 4 boys from Rotorua.

In September 2013, we sadly lost one of our twin boys, Arama, due to complications in utero that affected his kidneys.

Through this ordeal we were very fortunate to have the help of SANDS BOP who came to the hospital and helped us by providing support and special keepsakes of our baby.

Though this was a very rough time and a lot of my memory is still a blur from what we went through, I am thankful everyday for the memories we have of our sweet boy thanks to Sands.

We would like to tautoko Sands by raising money to help them help other families, because sadly there are others that need their support.

Hamiora is participating in the 2km kids dash at the beginning of the Podium half marathon on the 26th of November 2017. We would like to use this as an opportunity to ask our whānau, friends and any members of the community that would like to sponsor Hamiora by donating a small amount of money to Sands BAy of plenty.

All money raised will go directly to Sands and I will keep Hamiora updated with what has been raised through this page :)
