The people who walk beside us 💛

Through the hard days, the unknowns and everything in between, it’s often the people beside us who make all the difference.

Today we’re sharing a few reflections from our sarcoma whānau on the people who have supported, loved and walked alongside them.

A little reminder to hold your people close and tell them you love them 💛🎗️

This Uterine Cancer Awareness Month, we’re sharing Sara’s story 💛

What started as a sore hip led to a more complicated diagnosis and journey Sara never expected.

Thank you Sara for sharing your experience with us and helping shine a light on uterine sarcoma 💛

Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month 💜

This month is an important opportunity to raise awareness of gynaecological cancers and the thousands of people across Aotearoa affected by them each year.

But there’s one rare type we want to shine a little more light on: gynaecological sarcoma.

Unlike most gynaecological cancers, which begin in the lining or surface cells, sarcomas develop in muscle and connective tissue. They make up only around 1-3% of gynaecological cancers, which means they can be less recognised and sometimes mistaken for more common conditions.

That’s why awareness matters among our communities and health professionals 💜

Swipe through to learn more about gynaecological sarcomas, including what they are, signs and symptoms to be aware of, and where to find support.

You can also visit our Patient Resources at sarcoma.org.nz for more information on diagnosis, treatment and support.

Kia ora e te whānau! 💛

Ko te tūmanako kei te pai tō koutou Wiki o te Reo Māori!

I tēnei rā, we wanted to share some of the kupu (words) we often use within our charity and what they mean.

You may have heard many of these kupu before, but Te Wiki o te Reo Māori is a beautiful opportunity to ako (learn) and add a few more kupu to our kete (basket) of knowledge 🧺

Kia pai tō ako ~ enjoy learning! 💛

Hari Wiki o Te Reo Māori! 💛

This week, we’re sharing some of the whakataukī that carry us.  Whakataukī are Māori proverbs that have been passed down through generations, carrying wisdom and important lessons from te ao Māori. They often have a deeper meaning, offering guidance, encouragement and little reminders we can carry with us through life.

These are a couple that we stand by! Have a read through their deeper meanings whānau.

Kia kaha te reo Māori! 🖤❤️🤍

Some beautiful words by Tom 💛💛
Both Tom and Cam are incredible humans, whose light shines so brightly.

“Walking with Giants”

There’s not too many positives about living with a terminal disease but just occasionally you get a boost.

Meeting and becoming friends with Cameron Suafoa and his beautiful wife Brittany has been one of those moments for me. A giant of a man not just in his physical stature but with the Mana in which he carries himself. His humility, openness and optimism are inspirational and it is a privilege to now count him amongst my friends.

Cam was a full time professional athlete when he was diagnosed with a rare Sarcoma with the prognosis now terminal. Instead of shrinking back into a world of self pity he faced his nemesis and became the Ambassador for the Sarcoma Foundation NZ and to this day continues to push our case for awareness of this rare cancer. Despite facing regular treatments that make him unwell for days he always makes himself available when needed. It is no surprise to me that such a man became the Captain of his provincial squad, was a valued member of the Auckland Blues playing every game after being diagnosed as well as appearing for the Maori and All Black 15.

If possible I ask my friends to share this post to continue to raise awareness so that we at least get recognition from the powers that be”

To all the Dads 💙

We want to extend our aroha to all the incredible dads and father figures across our sarcoma community and throughout Aotearoa.

To the dads supporting a child, partner or loved one through cancer. To the dads facing a cancer diagnosis themselves. To the dads working across our health sector, caring for and supporting others every day. And to our very own founder Dr Andy Johnston, whose dedication to the sarcoma community has helped shape the foundation we are so proud of today.

We also hold close the fathers who are no longer with us, and the whānau remembering a much loved dad, partner, son or father figure today. You will always be remembered and honoured 💛

For those who find Father’s Day a little heavier, we’re sending some extra love your way.

To all the Dads, this one’s for you 💙 We hope you feel the love surrounding you today 💙

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 💛

This month, we stand alongside tamariki and rangatahi across Aotearoa affected by cancer, and the whānau walking beside them every step of the way.

We also want to acknowledge the incredible organisations, healthcare teams and support services across Aotearoa who wrap around these tamariki and their whānau - including who provide personalised, practical and emotional support to families throughout their cancer journey.

To every child and young person facing cancer, every parent, sibling and whānau member supporting them, and those remembering a precious tamaiti they have lost - we see you and stand with you this September 💛

Gold is the international colour for childhood cancer awareness, so throughout September, keep an eye out for gold around Aotearoa. And if you can, wear a little gold yourself to help show your support 💛✨
