#FeverDreams - Ronald McDonald House

So the Ronald McDonald house is quiet at the moment with only a few families staying there (which is a good thing) so the Butler-Peck family jumped at the chance to attend a Nix game again.

What a game to attend. The family going through the emotions of the illness and then the lows of that first half followed by the highs of the second half. What a roller coaster of a ride for them. I wish them well and am happy they got to see the turn around, the fan atmosphere which imho was one of the best for a lot of years. Very passionate, noisey and smokey!!

The Butler-Peck family got to enjoy the @WgtnPhoenixFC win on Saturday night, even joining in with the @YellowFever_NZ for shirts off! #FeverDreams pic.twitter.com/3ZckjiAcNN

Also this is cool, video from shirts off at 80mins

Decided to be nice and have dropped off two families passes to this family, seeing as the kids are such big Nix fans, so they can attend the next two games on the 23rd and 26th January. 

Thanks again for all your time spent bringing a little bit of joy to these families.  It's great seeing their smiles in the photos and I appreciate all the work you put in on (somewhat) all of our behalf.

So a special thanks to Jay Harvie, we arranged a behind the scenes look for Luke, Ella and Daisy.

They got to push some buttons

Got on the big screen with Dangerous Dave

Shirts off with the Fever

and met some Nix players

Hey all,

You may have seen on a few of the Fever social media platforms a link to my Redbubble with t-shirts up for sale (like the Kurto #1 tee) and just thought I would share the sales figures so you know the money is going where it should be. 

First column is payment made by Redbubble to me, second column is payment made by me to Fever Dreams.

As you can see it mostly lines up except October where I paid in extra cos I thought I'd forgotten to put through the June sale in June –bonus for Fever Dreams! 

This is my way of supporting Fever Dreams – it's a great initiative that needs to keep happening – and a massive thanks to everyone who has bought some merch, or is planning too.

Thanks Christo, just a bought a Green F1. Used the promo code sorry to get a 20% discount. 

Any purchase is greatly appreciated LG.

A thank you from RMH in Sydney for the 50 tickets we sent to their families for the game on Sa

We are so grateful - thank you! So many families are far from home and facing challenging times so it's pretty special to be able to go to an event together and make some positive memories ❤️ https://t.co/GfCbIPOxZq

Very proud of you Matt. "Toby" and I enjoyed the game and the experience, so I am quite sure the recipients would have too. It was a good day, despite the area change from aisle 8 in the shade to the full blown sun in the face experience we had in aisle 19 instead! Another FFA conspiracey?? The Cove were in about aisle 16 &17 and they were brilliant and very very friendly. Real and genuine football lovers. Immense stuff.

I saw promotion on the wall when we were there late January. Nearly took grandson but it was a late game and didn't quite work out.

Yeah the week before the game they put a call out for a family to attend. If you don't mind me asking, were you visiting or had family in there? Do you and you grandson had a chance to attend a game yet?

Hi Yakcall...thanx for your post above.  I dont mind you asking. 

The link below probably best explains why I/we/them were there.  U will see my fundraising endeavour is going very well....certainly far better than the kms I have cycled so far but its only 2 March.:>). That part has been an amazing ride.

Im going out again 2moro.. (plan is to ride in and visit sons partner).  I hope to surpass the commitment of 210km in March by about week 3 but its early days.

If things pan out as we all hope in next two weeks or so they wont need to return.

Well done you, will donate when next get paid and have shared on Twitter too from Fever Dreams account. 

Thanx Yakcall..I appreciate that additional exposure to social media.  Cracked $1000 raised today for RMH....and 97 kms ridden over the weekend.  Not as much next weekend tho..bit hard on the body lol.

Congratulations on the new grandchild Trevor. Hope baby gets well enough soon so family can all be together back home but it does show how wonderful it is to have places like the houses for families that need them. 

Hi fellow forum members..

Bumping as it is last 3 days for the House to House challenge I took on to raise funds for RMH...so far $1600 donated by amazing people.  You too can be part of them..any amount will be appreciated by RMH and me.

I have ridden 268km so far in March and hope to get to 300km by end of weekend.

Link to story over last 10 weeks is below...baby is doing well down in Nelson Hospital now and weighs nearly 2000g now.

Coming to the game??

I was just thinking about you the other day and was going to reach out to see how you are doing. Well done on doing so many K's. I just dropped off the stuff to the house for the game on Saturday so if you have family at the house in Wellington and they are free Saturday night, then they should chase up about getting the tickets etc.

Thanx for the thoughts..baby and Mum are now back in Nelson Hospital/Motueka.  We visit in mid April.

Hopefully other families will take advantage of the free tickets..awesome initiative.  I also noted on RMH FB that some Nix players turned up and cooked a week or so ago on one of the sponsor nites which would have been a buzz for families there.

Thinking about it..haven't got there this season but this will be a good one and timing is good.  Was maybe thinking of cycling in from Paraparaumu Beach and shower at work before match..  or part way in least ahead of game as it was a hard 3 hours from Pram to Hospital early on in March. 

Good way to add on kms and link it all in.

On Saturday the Davey family staying RMH in Wellington got to attend the Nix game as part of Fever Dreams. Not a bad game to attend either with another win and the 3rd hat trick in Nix history.
