Sproul says spy She had the honor of hosting a fundraising gala for Cure Kid last year and said the whole experience amazed her greatly.
“Obviously Cure Kids does amazing things, but I was really moved to see how impactful their work is and I want to continue supporting them in any way I can,” Sproul said.
Lucca herself faced great challenges – she was diagnosed with an extremely rare and extremely aggressive cancer when she was just 16 months old – but thanks to a groundbreaking new treatment provided by a research project funded by Cure Kids, she is now thriving.
“When the lovely Lucca nominated me to turn red and do something embarrassing for Red Nose Day, I was happy to oblige,” Sproul said.
She chose to tell everyone she interacted with in public that she loved them: “I had to tell everyone I met, the store clerks, the artisans, the neighbors, I loved them.”
“For now… it’s super awkward, but I’ll do it.
“We’re hoping to raise at least $2,500, so let’s all go! Oh, and donors are also welcome.”
Ben has faced many challenges himself, including his mother Katherine being diagnosed with spina bifida, myelomeningocele and hydrocephalus at a pre-natal anatomy scan 20 weeks into her pregnancy. Ben spoke to Roger about his difficulties.
“I have been a huge supporter of the great work that Cure Kids does for many years,” said Roger. spy“How could I refuse to laugh at clever Ben when he challenged me?”
By the end of the month, Roger has to create a TikTok account and perform her dance — a step outside her comfort zone after interviewing some of the world’s biggest Hollywood stars.
“I’m creepily lame. Doing a TikTok dance is literally the worst idea ever. Not to mention I’d need at least $10,000 in donations to make it happen,” Roger said.
Roger is kept awake at night by the fear of dancing in front of everyone.
“I’ve seen dance videos on TikTok that range from top-notch to lame, and it’s only made me more scared.”
Roger explains that he’s looking for dance tracks that are slow enough that they won’t dislocate his hips.
“I have asked all the best dancers I know to help these sisters, but they quickly realise it is a hopeless situation.”
Cure Kids CEO Frances Sutter said she was thrilled that celebrities and everyday people alike were taking up the challenge.
“There’s no better way to support New Zealand children while having fun,” says Sautter. “The idea that we can bring smiles to people’s faces whilst supporting research projects that address some of the most important issues facing our tamariki makes us really happy.”
“There is still much work to be done when it comes to child health in Aotearoa.
“Cure Kids is committed to doing all we can to make a tangible difference to the health and wellbeing of New Zealand children.”
