Samuel Innes will be the second New Zealand child to undergo umbilical cord treatment for a birth related brain injury. Samuel, who is now four years old, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was two.  He has been accepted for treatment to be re-infused with his own cord blood in North Carolina.

His parents Andy and Ricky Innes , the franchise owners of Ray White Whitianga, are planning on travelling to the United States later next month.  For more on Samuel’s story please click here

Ray White continues to be a proud community supporter of Ronald McDonald House Auckland.  Every year Ronald McDonald House Auckland assists over 9,000 Kiwis who need to call the House ‘home’.  The House provides shelter and support for New Zealand families who must travel to Auckland for potentially lifesaving treatment for their sick children. 

Ronald McDonald House has made a recent addition of a Family Room located inside Starship Hospital, for times when being even five minutes away from a sick child is too far. 

Last Saturday evening Ronald McDonald House Auckland held their annual Supper Club Auction, which raised in excess of $37,000.  Pictured here is Mark Te Whare (Ray White Chief Auctioneer) and Wayne Howett (CEO of Ronald McDonald House) with a cheque representing the funds that were raised from the auction. 

Ronald McDonald House relies heavily on funding support from key partners, grant bodies, donations and bequests from the wider New Zealand community.   Ray White is proud to be a Business Club Supporter of Ronald McDonald House.
