We are a group of trail runners braving the roads in the Waiheke Wharf to Wharf to help raise money for Vayla's chair through the Jassy Dean Trust. We believe running is a gift and when someone can't run, we will run for them! Together we plan on clocking up more than 300km on the day to raise more than $2000.

A little more about Vayla..Vayla is 6 years old and suffers from Cru di Chat syndrome as well as Bronchiectasis. These conditions together mean Vayla is often hospitalised with chest infections and has trouble meeting developmental milestones.

Vayla loves to be mobile but at times her ill health and tiredness mean she cannot walk or gets very wobbly and has falls.

A Wombat Chair will help to reduce Vayla's reflux and vomiting as well as well as being a safer chair that can’t be tipped over. Being able to wheel Vayla from the table to the bathroom and around the house will conserve Vayla’s energy and save her Mums back.

The chair will cost over $6000 so we need the community to dig deep to get us over the line!

TrailTribe Waiheke for Vayla's involvement (page creator)

We are involved because we are fortunate enough to be able to choose running as a way of raising funds and awareness for a great cause and good people. We want to do a little something to make life for Vayla and her family just a bit easier. Vayla's current school teacher, Camilla Brotherton, and her ex-kndy teacher are both members of our team; we all think Vayla, and her family, are pretty special!
