"I was introduced to Cheekee Hero, as part of my project and placemaking work for the Orakei Local Board, supporting local community groups with their projects. Jazz and her whanau are an inspiration, not only in meeting their own challenges, but with their passion and energy to help and make a difference to other families on the same journey. It was wonderful seeing the local Community supporting Cheekee Hero, fundraising to give back to the Child Cancer Foundation, by volunteering for the National Street Appeal - it was an awesome day! It is a pleasure and a privilege to support Cheekee Hero on this and other projects as they continue to shine a light on child cancer. Glow gold!"
