Why we need your help. Your support will help Kiwi kids with cancer and the people who love them.

Every week, at least three Kiwi kids are diagnosed with cancer. Childhood cancer affects the whole whanau, not just the child. We are currently supporting 1,200 families across New Zealand. Every family's cancer experience is different, which is why we provide personalised one-to-one support to best meet the needs of each family.

We need to raise $6 million each year to continue providing vital support to tamariki and their families. We do not receive any direct government funding which means we entirely rely on donations to support families. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, so we need all the support we can get!
