Prostate Cancer Awareness Rotorua

739km DONE! 🚴‍♂️💙

Today Jess completed her September cycling challenge, riding 739km in memory of the 739 Kiwi men who lose their lives to prostate cancer each year.

Early mornings, late nights, hours on the bike and plenty of pushing through with jelly legs. We are so bloody proud of her!!

This cause is incredibly close to home after we lost our dad, Daniel, to prostate cancer in December 2024. He was only 62.

Jess has ridden every kilometre to honour Dad, remember the men we’ve lost and raise awareness for the men we don’t want to become part of that number.

If you’d like to support her, every donation goes towards Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ:

Early detection saves lives. Many men have no symptoms, so please tell the men in your life to talk to their GP about getting their PSA checked.

A simple test could save a life. 💙

The daily post wrote up an article about our whanau and the Blue Walk 💙🚶

'The hole they leave doesn’t get smaller; you learn how to live around it.'

Okay… we’ve got some GOODIES! 👀💙

In just 5 days we’ll be walking together for prostate cancer awareness.

This walk is very close to our hearts. We lost our Dad, Daniel, to aggressive prostate cancer at just 62. He should still be here.

Dad always said, “even if he saves just one life, it’s worth it.”

So we’re walking for Dad, for those still fighting, for those who have survived, and for the families who have lost someone they love. 💙

Come along, wear blue, bring the whānau and help us spread the word.
