This February, our team at Darfield are taking on the Move Your Butt challenge to raise funds for Bowel Cancer NZ, supporting vital services for patients and funding research to reduce the impact of bowel cancer.

Each step we take and every kilometre we walk honours those lost to bowel cancer and supports those who are still fighting. Every dollar we raise will directly fund essential support services like counselling, physio, and financial assistance – services that make a real difference to patients and survivors during their recovery.

You can support us by donating by following the link below or giving us a wave on our lunch time walks!

Please help us by supporting our team today. With your help, we’ll walk with purpose and work toward a future where no Kiwi has to face bowel cancer alone.

Thank you for your support!
