Child Cancer Foundation

Meet Denis. He’s a miniature pony, though he’s decided he prefers ‘donkey’ and honestly, we’re not going to argue with that. Denis belongs to Thor, one of our wonderful supporters who, after welcoming his first child, wanted to do more. So, he did what any reasonable person would do – bought a miniature pony. Denis will be joining family days, giving rides to the tamariki we support and their whānau, once he’s built a bit of confidence with the kids. Needless to say, we’re so happy he galloped his way to us! 🐎

Auckland, it’s your time to shine!

At just five years old, Ryu was diagnosed with leukaemia. What followed were years of treatments,living “appointment to appointment”.

Now, cancer-free ✨ and about to turn 18, Ryu, along with his family who are staunch Warriors faithfuls 🏉 is proud to see their team supporting Child Cancer Foundation, who have played a pivotal role in Ryu’s journey.

Ryu is our ambassador supporting the One NZ Warriors for the NRL's Kick for a Cause. 😎 The goal is to raise $1,000,000 for childhood cancer charities across Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia, including Child Cancer Foundation and the Starship Foundation 💙
