We are working on giving back to Nora’s favorite community, the place where she loved to be so very much - her school. Details to follow.
Was SO much fun for my family and I to participate in in 2021!
The kids had an absolute ball, and knowing we were raising money in Nora’s name for the Child Cancer Foundation really motivated us to sparkle as brightly as we could and give it our all.
Hands down the most exciting fundraiser we have experienced, we will 100% be participating each and every year! Laura

Touch the Sky 2022

Noras Family

While we couldn’t deliver the event we wanted this year we are incredibly happy to now share our plan to honor Nora and raise funds for the Child Cancer Foundation for 2022.

“Glitterally the best box ever”: A box containing 6 main challenges and other smaller activities for you to complete in the safety of your home as a family or team while still celebrating what Touch the Sky is all about.

The fundraising event for 2021 was our inaugural event, which took inspiration from Nora’s guide book on how to have fun: family, a sense of adventure, colour and laughter. It was an Amazing Race style event, where participants completed challenges inspired by Nora, visiting some of Nora’s favourite places around Selwyn - and finished with a colour dash in Foster Park.

We are so proud that our Inaugural Fundraising Event in 2021 raised $12,056.93 for the Child Cancer Foundation.

Touch the Sky 2021

On March 21st 2021 we held our first memorial fundraiser event in Rolleston, Selwyn. Touch the Sky was created in memory of the beautiful, resilient Nora Guise who fought cancer from age 5 until she passed away in 2020 just short of her 7th birthday. We wanted to create a unique, fun, family event to honour Nora and to raise much needed funds for the Child Cancer Foundation. And we did! For our first event we set a target of $5,000 and we smashed it raising $12,056.93. We had 148 people across 30 teams participate in surprise pit stops with unknown tasks and clues to solve which saw them create a hobby horse and ride it around a real horse arena as a team, learn a ballet routine and perform it, undertake a challenging army assault course, solve a maths question and dig and dig for a tiny elephant in a sandpit. It ended with a colour dash at Foster Park with sausages, ice cream and an awards ceremony.
