Scarlett’s helping families affected by bowel cancer
After her mum, Heidi, was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2021, 10-year-old Scarlett wanted to help other people affected by the disease. She started fundraising at her local farmers’ market, selling home-made gift bags to raise money, while her family sold their own olive oil.
“My goal was to raise money for Bowel Cancer New Zealand to help them support more families like ours.”
- Scarlett
Thanks to her efforts, Scarlett raised $450 – a donation that is already making a real difference for families affected by bowel cancer.
Every fundraiser, big or small, helps families like Scarlett’s. You can make an impact too – start fundraising today!
