BECKIBecki Ross is 42 years young. A solo mum to two amazing teenagers Maddi and Jackson, and a daughter, sister, aunty, friend and teacher to many others. Becki is known for her sense of humour, big smile, positive attitude and beautiful outlook on life. Becki has been hit with the hard news, Stage 4 Cancer. A diagnosis no one wants to hear - there’s chemotherapy treatment to help keep the cancer at bay, but no real cure. There are medications (Erbitux is an example)- and they aren’t funded. They’re expensive and may help extend her life and give Becki the opportunity to live longer and have time with her children, family, partner and friends to make more memories.

WHO WE'RE SUPPORTING IN 2025
In 2018 one of our ‘family’ needed support to fund a new Cancer treatment so we decided to hold a golf day to raise a ‘few thousand dollars’ to help with her costs. $35,000 later, The Charity Golf Day was born. Livingstone Building supported the 2018 event because of Tristyn and the day was such an amazing success we’ve made it an annual event. Livingstone are back again as the naming sponsor for 2024. Supported by a large number of our friends, colleagues and business partners this event is going to make a huge difference to 4 people this year, Jayson, Becki, Alice and Shianne – see the “Who We Support’ tab. We have had amazing success in extending the life expectation of some amazing people and we look forward to being able to do this again in 2024. To be involved in supporting something really special please contact Errol Newlands.
KERRIKerri is a fun, energetic 26 year old, practicing as a Chiropractor in Morrinsville. With plans to head to South America then onto the UK at the end of March, these plans have been cancelled after receiving the news that no one wants to hear. After noticing a lump on the side of her neck, Kerri received the shock diagnosis on the 12th of February 2024, that the enlarged lymph node was actually stage 3 balloon cell melanoma. Balloon cell melanoma is a rare type of cancer cell. Once it reaches lymph nodes, it is good at going undetected and metastasising around the body. Following her diagnosis, Kerri had many appointments, tests and a surgery to find out what the best treatment option would be. The best cause of treatment is surgical removal of the entire lymph chain, with immunotherapy treatment before and after, to ensure the cancer cells have been completely removed from her body.
