My Nana Naula and My Aunty Ade

In Honour Of

I'm shaving my hair, for my Loved one My Nana Naula and My Aunty Ade

Heads up! Here's why you should support my Shave for a Cure 🧡

My name is Maddie Gray. I have just turned 11 and I live in Paihia in the beautiful Bay of Islands and am part of an amazing community 💖 and I am doing Shave for a Cure for 2026.
The reason I’m doing this is an important one.
I am giving up my hair so I can stand in support of those who have no choice in losing theirs.

It’s an extremely hard thing to face, and sadly Cancer touches us all at some stage.

 I currently have an Aunty she’s a wonderful woman but she’s battling Lymphoma, which is a blood cancer.

Cancer NZ is not a government organisation and relies on the generosity of you and me for fundraising.
Our efforts are essential to help continue to provide and grow needed services.

These services include supporting patients and their families across the country, providing information and education sessions, support and funding for research and raising awareness about the diseases.
A few students from Springbank school and I will be shaving our heads on the first of May for crazy hair day.
I am trying to raise as much money as I can to help support this amazing organisation. Thank you so much for your kind donations 💖💖

My Impact

Tyler and Michaels amazing gift

Tuesday 17th Mar
At the ITM Trade Fishing Prize Giving, a young man Tyler won a fishing rod. He asked for it to be auctioned off and the proceeds given to support Shave for Cure. What an incredible gift!!
It went to auction and Michael Shadbolt had the winning bid at $670.00.
Amazing, amazing kindness, I am so grateful for your support 💖

ITM Trade Fishing night

Tuesday 17th Mar
On Saturday the 14th of March I was lucky to be able to get up on stage with a microphone and do a speech to over 200 people about Shave for Cure and why it is important to me. I was blown away by the generosity of everyone there and the support they all gave me. It was amazing and I am very grateful for all the donations, kind words and cuddles 💖💖💖
