Bianca was diagnosed with cancer in 2007

In 2007 our daughter Bianca was diagnosed with leukemia 2 weeks before turning 4. She endured 830 days of treatment and during that time collected more than 1,300 beads of courage! Each bead represents something that happened during her treatment.

There were many many days that were incredibly difficult, but through it all Bianca's smile would light the room, her courage and bravery would be the one thing that would stand out for us!

The Child Cancer Foundation was there for us from the very start. Without them we would not have been able to cope as well as we did.

More than three children on average per week in New Zealand are diagnosed with cancer. Each year New Zealand children with cancer collectively undergo an astounding 75,000 treatments and procedures throughout their journey. For each one they receive a Bead of Courage… The Child Cancer Foundation is committed to supporting children with cancer and their families from the time of diagnosis, throughout their journey of treatments and subsequently the transition back into the community.

By shaving my lid for a brave kid, I’m helping raise the $3 million required each year for child and family support services. I’m passionate about the cause and willing to lose my locks to prove it!

Please sponsor me as I participate in funrazor. All money raised goes to the Child Cancer Foundation.

Thanks so much for all your support!
