When: 9.30am Sunday, 6th March 2016.

Where: Te Ara Tahuna Estuary Walkway, Orewa.

Course: Walk or cycle the 2km or 7km course.

Theme: Dress up, have fun and join the colourful procession of purple, wings, butterflies and rainbows.

The wider community and all walkers are invited to join in the Family Funday at Western Reserve, bring the family and enjoy some fabulous entertainment including the very talented Jamie McDell this year, children’s rides, food stalls and fun atmosphere!

The event aims to provide the community with a spectacular day out with the emphasis on fun for the whole family on National Children’s Day.

We encourage all participants young and old to have some fun and dress up for the event. The themes are purple, butterflies and rainbows (all Kiara's favourite things) so get your work colleagues, family and friends together, get creative and have fun!

This event has been put together by Kiara’s family and friends to raise awareness and fundraise for the Child Cancer Foundation who offered much needed support to Kiara and her family. It is a true community event run by volunteers.

In Kiara’s memory $56,000 has been raised to support children with cancer and their families. The event is also an established fixture on the event calendar and has been well supported by the CCF network across Auckland.

Every week in New Zealand three families are told their child has cancer. By providing much needed help and support on a day to day basis from diagnosis onwards the Child Cancer Foundation ensures each child and their family will never feel alone.

The Foundation also supports and funds the education of health professionals and their research into child cancer.
