KIDS CANCER FOUNDATION
The grace, joy and enthusiasm for life of numerous exceptional boys and girls battling against cancer have inspired Sunset Polo International to particularly support the Wellington based charity Kids Cancer Foundation, for which Nic is an Ambassador.
Sunset Polo International feels blessed having the opportunity to interact with some of these most beautiful, loving, strong and admiral kids battling with something that restricts them from simply being kids.
The Foundation’s mission is to provide in their community hope and support to children & families battling childhood cancer and/or blood disorders.
They educate families about their child’s diagnosis and treatment and provide the emotional, financial and spiritual support the child and their family need throughout their journey

Additionally whenever Nic can, he participates in the Rally for Kids with Cancer campaigns and programs, the aim being to increase awareness and understanding of what kids go through and the issues their families face.
