<div>Hello, my name is Chelsea Rodgers and thank you for taking the time to read our story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the start of 2024, my incredible dad, Steve, was hospitalised with Kidney Failure. After nearly two years of unanswered questions and countless hospital stays, he began dialysis, this induced a rare skin disease - but to this day, we still don’t have a diagnosis. His body is attacking itself, and no one knows why.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In May 2025, Steve spent 8 weeks in hospital as his health declined and in June underwent life-changing surgery and had his leg amputated. It’s been a tough journey - physically, emotionally, and mentally; for Steve, my mum Gaylene, my brother Clinton, and our entire family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you know Steve, you know he’s a hands-on, hard-working man who’s always there to lend a hand or fix a problem. Over the past few years, his life has changed dramatically. Steve has had to stop working, and fights a daily battle for his health, and my mum has taken significant time off and ultimately resigned to care for him - driving him to appointments, staying with him in Wellington Hospital, and managing the day to day strain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Living overseas while studying, I’ve felt helpless at times. So, I’m running a marathon 12th October 2025 in honour of my dad, as a tribute to his strength and resilience, and to support him through one of the biggest battles of his life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Running is my outlet, but this time, every step is for him, and for our family. I hope this effort can raise both support and awareness and remind my dad that he’s not facing this alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser will go toward helping with the many unexpected costs that come with serious illness and recovery, including:
</div>
<div>•	Travel costs between Masterton and Wellington for ongoing appointments
</div>
<div>•	Living costs such as food, mortgage, and power
</div>
<div>•	Home modifications for accessibility
</div>
<div>•	Support toward a wheelchair-accessible vehicle
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any amount you’re willing to contribute is so deeply appreciated, and if you can’t donate at this time, sharing with your friends and family would mean the world to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping me run toward something bigger than myself, and for standing with my family through this tough journey. xo
</div>
