Support my Move Your Butt challenge

This February, I’m taking on Move Your Butt for Bowel Cancer once again — a cause that’s very close to my heart after my own experience recently with bowel cancer. Going through it firsthand showed me just how important early detection, support, and research really are.

Every month, 100 Kiwis lose their lives to bowel cancer, and too many families are affected far too soon.

Every dollar I raise for Bowel Cancer New Zealand helps fund vital patient services such as counselling, physiotherapy, and financial assistance, as well as research aimed at preventing bowel cancer and improving outcomes. These services make a real difference for people navigating diagnosis, treatment, and recovery — I’ve seen that impact personally.

If you’re able to support my fundraiser, no matter how big or small, it will help ensure people facing bowel cancer don’t have to do it alone. It only takes a minute to donate, but the impact lasts far longer.

Thank you so much for your support 🧡
