Nic Russell's life changed forever in April 2005 when her daughter Kenzie was diagnosed with cancer. Two months later Nic too was diagnosed.

Kenzie died at christmas that year, so this is always a very challenging time for Nic, and she thinks more about the families facing the same trauma at christmas time - and wants to give them the gift of support at this time of year.

So now, 7 years on since Kenzie's passing, Kenzie's legacy (www.kenziesgift.com) has helped over 100 children and families.  To make sure they can continue to help, each year Nic embarks on ever increasing harder endurance races.  This year, it is the Iron Distance Challenge Wanaka: http://www.challenge-wanaka.com/

Nic will do all the hard work; train for and complete this event, but she really needs your help to make a difference.  If you would like to sponsor Nic, please follow the link: http://www.fundraiseonline.co.nz/kenzie/  and select the 'Make a donation' button. It's simple, fast and totally secure.  If you live in New Zealand your donation is tax deductible and a receipt will be issued.

"Many thanks for your support" - Nic
