Meet Lockyer, an outgoing and confident young person with resilience and a smile that lights up his entire face. He has a rare condition called aplastic anemia.
Lockyer's wish was to experience the thrill of snowboarding with his family. He had never been on a plane or skiing with his family before. And with the help of our donors, we made it happen!
Lockyer and his family were whisked away on a fantastic five-day trip to Ohakune. It was a journey filled with adventure, laughter, and memories that will be treasured forever. But before they hit the slopes, they went on rock-climbing session as a warm-up exercise. And, of course, we made sure they had a day of relaxation and exploration, hiking through the stunning sights of Tongariro and Waitonga Falls Track.
When the much-awaited snow play day arrived. They had so much fun on the slopes, and unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.
