MILES FOR MYELOMA \u2502 COMBAT CANCER TOGETHER Holding Hands, Holding Hope

LET’S FILL THE BEACH WITH PEOPLE, HOPE, AND A MESSAGE NEW ZEALAND CAN’T IGNORE 🚨
Join us for a powerful community beach gathering as we come together to create a giant human chain along the Mount Maunganui shoreline — a visible statement of solidarity for Maria and for every New Zealander impacted by cancer.
We want this to be BIG.
We want to be seen.
We want to make headlines.
Because no family should have to rely on fundraising, overseas treatment, or luck to access lifesaving cancer care.
New Zealanders deserve better cancer treatment options.
Maria is a much-loved dancer, friend, and member of our community currently fighting an aggressive cancer diagnosis. She is urgently trying to access potentially lifesaving CAR-T therapy in China, with fundraising efforts now more critical than ever.
But this event is about more than Maria.
It’s about every person who has fought cancer.
Every family carrying heartbreak.
Every friend who has shown up.
Every life impacted by this disease.
This is about community, movement, hope, and standing together to say: people deserve access to treatment and time.
✨ Dance
✨ Walk
✨ Hold hands
✨ Move with us
Whether you come with friends, whānau, your dance crew, or simply yourself — everyone is welcome.
We’ll have music, movement, drone footage capturing the human chain from above, and powerful visuals we hope will spread across New Zealand and beyond. Stay afterwards for refreshments and connection, with the Matcha Truck joining us and contributing proceeds toward Maria’s fundraiser.
💛 Donate what you can
Wear bright colours, bring good energy, and help us create something impossible to ignore.
Let’s fill the beach with hope.
Let’s show what community looks like.
Let’s combat cancer together.
