Every year, we team up with New World Thorndon to raise money for families connected with the RSA through the sale of Steve Joll’s delicious Cranzacs.
This year, the money raised will be supporting KT and her two-year-old son Roman to make life a little easier. We’re counting on your support to help make these challenges a little less full-on!
You can support our campaign by purchasing Cranzacs from New World Thorndon, or catching our Cranzac-a-van traveling throughout the Wellington region!
If you’d like to learn more about what life is like for Roman and his whānau, read the below from his mother KT:
"Kia Ora, I’m Kt. I have served in the NZ Army for 8 years. I have a 2-year-old son called Roman, who was diagnosed at around 6 weeks old with Cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a progressive, lifelong, and life-shortening genetic condition that has no cure. It causes the body to produce a thick, sticky mucus that builds up and damages the lungs, digestive system, liver, and other parts of the body.
Cystic fibrosis is an invisible condition. The physical impacts are not always obvious which can make it difficult for others to fully understand the daily struggles and limitations that individuals with CF experience.
Roman’s typical day involves a rigorous treatment plan, including physiotherapy, medications, enzyme supplements, and a high-calorie diet, all aimed at managing the condition and maintaining lung function. Roman lives each day to the fullest and any support you provide will help him continue accessing every opportunity that comes his way."
Target: Trampoline, Swimming Lessons, and a gardener
