Annie's 10 Year Cancer Anniversary Dream Trip to New Zealand

Howdy fellow Hobbits!

My name is Annie Bond and I have been living with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer since I was 26 years old. I had no family history or genetic mutations, and by the time doctors were done assuring me I was "too young for cancer", it had already spread to my liver.

My original prognosis was 2-5 years, but in August 2025, I will get to celebrate 10 YEARS of life and survival. My dream for years now has been to celebrate this miraculous milestone in..............New Zealand!!

THIS FUNDRAISER IS TO MAKE THIS DREAM COME TRUE BECAUSE IT IS EXPENSIVE!

I would love to travel with my boyfriend Jake, who has been with me since before my diagnosis and is my favorite human in the whole world. We want to go Hobbiton, go whale watching, and just explore the amazing magical land that is New Zealand!

If you can donate, amazing! If you can't, please share this! I am an active advocate on social media and am also very open to sponsorships for the trip! Any way that I can make this happen.

It is very strange to be making a GoFundMe again, especially for something purely joyful and not desperate and life saving. I don't like asking for help, but I know if I was reading this about someone else, I would be happy to help their dreams come true!

Life is precious and beautiful and we all deserve to see our dreams come true. Cancer is a beast and I am so lucky to still be here. And I plan on sticking around for many more decades to come!

Thank you for reading this, and thank you for still being here too! And sorry for the terrifying photo I made for this fundraiser but its funny and perfect!!!
