On March 7 dispatcher and driver Jamie Coote and his partner Rach will be running/walking the Motatapu Miners Trail - a 15km, 900m vert mountain run at Arrowtown. Our aim - to raise enough funds for our wee mate Ava and her family to have a holiday in Australia after a tough year! After winning her school cross country Ava noticed a lump on her leg which was diagnosed as Ewings Sarcoma - a rare, aggressive bone cancer. Late last year she had a partial amputation of her left leg and a rotationplasty - where her ankle has been rotated 180 degrees (so toes point backward) and attached to the thigh bone to allow the ankle joint to act as a hinge for a prosthetic leg. She's still having chemo in Christchurch Hospital and will have to learn to walk again with a prosthetic.

Ava's parents, Tracey and Hayden, are our business partners at Switzers Valley Transport

Jamie and Rach hope to raise enough money so that brave wee Ava can go and visit her best friend, who moved to Melbourne just before she was diagnosed. (Her mum needs a holiday too!). Any donations or sponsorship for the run are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Fundraising for Ava to visit her friend in Melbourne once she's well enough to travel.
