Ico Donation Target Achieve

Introduction

As you may know in 2010 our family got the devastating diagnosis that our beautiful sister Naomi (a.k.a. Noogs) had Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. For a year we watched Noogs endure what no newly married, 30 year old should have to.

Throughout Noogs' fight with this disease, we encountered a massive amount of support, love and prayers from everyone and for that we will be forever grateful.

Leukaemia & Blood Cancer NZ was an amazing support to Noogs and our family. Now with a year of remission under her belt and a beautiful miracle baby boy, we are honoured to be able to give back to LBC.

We are driving the length of the country revisiting the NZ cult classic movie Good Bye Pork Pie in order to raise funds and awareness for this awesome charity that runs on fundraising alone!

So please donate and help support this great cause which is very close to our hearts!

Event date:Thursday 28/03/13 to Wednesday 03/04/13

We've been following the 2013 rally via Team Misty but just wanted to add best wishes. Remember you well on 2011 rally and am so thrilled to hear all is well and the miracle of your baby boy. Charlotte too is doing well and started university this year. We had hoped she and I would drive this year as LBC is particularly pertinent for us but I'm currently in Japan celebrating Florence's 21st birthday. All the very best to you Naomi and please pass on our regards and thanks to Annie, Murray and Rod for all the work they put in to organising the event.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and support!
Mary Ann - thats wonderful to hear about Charlotte, I often think of my fellow cancer survivors, amazing that she is at university and healthy and happy! Say Hi from me! I am so pleased to hear that news. Have a great time in Japan and I will certainly pass on your regards to Mum and Dad and Rod XXXX
