Sarah believes that every challenge brings an opportunity to discover a more aligned version of ourselves. A person's cancer journey is one of the most personal and vulnerable things we can share with the world, and in that, there is enough power to create change. 

Devastatingly, in August 2023, Sarah was diagnosed with the same cancer that left her and her sister orphans at a young age. Having a young family of her own, Emma 4 and Hugo 1, she is determined not to let history repeat itself. 

The treatment she needs is not funded in New Zealand and, somewhat even more frustratingly, will not be fully covered by health insurance either. 

The goal is to raise the full cost of treatment and to take you on the journey along with her. She hopes to illuminate the inequity in receiving and treating cancer in New Zealand and maybe even changing it. 

Sarah isn’t just another person on a cancer journey, but a prominent member of Aotearoa’s pole dancing and aerial community, where she has created the most magical spaces of connection, art and empowerment as a studio owner, teacher, mentor and artist for over a decade.
