12 paces... tho I'm under extreme cap pressure, not sure how/if I can sneak such a purchase outside of it... I might email Ian Robson and Damien De Bohun for some ideas.

That shirt is a real collectors item to be fair. It's basically an early days Fever signature list.

So dropped the stuff off for Saturday's game, apparently this week it is going to a 20 year old going through cancer treatment but he hasn't been told yet. His family are in on it and they are going to surprise him tomorrow.

So some good news in this day of misery. Remember what you guys have done for others and be proud.

Hi Matt,

The family who attended the game this week was the Russell family. The family have been with us for 2 months while their son Nick has been undergoing chemotherapy. The Russell’s said they had an absolutely wonderful time and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. This outing was a welcome distraction for the family who will be here for another 6 months at least.

That's awesome,  and a clear contribution we (and by we I mean you brilliant chaps) bring to the A League.

So along with the #SaveTheNix campaign, I was still doing Fever Dreams. From RMH

"Great result on Friday! And what a game! The family who were able to attend the game this week was the Sinclair family. They were very appreciative and said it was great to have a few hours away from the hospital, especially for sibling Charlotte (pictured) who had an absolute ball! Also a big thank you for the tickets for the volunteers! I haven’t had a chance to see any of them yet but they were very excited when they got the tickets and very thankful.

Thank you so much for the service you are providing our families and the people who help keep our House running!"

So thanks to the Phoenix and North Harbour stadium we will have lounge passes and a parking pass for the family that will attend the game from Ronald McDonald House Auckland.

Just arranging to pick them up and getting them to Wellington one who will send the stuff up in their internal mail.

Also these guys wanted to put together a list of what good supporter groups have done in the league to combat the negative stories at the moment and Fever Dreams is in the list. I also let them know about our membership drive.

Forgot to mention we had a family at the game in Auckland from Auckland Ronald McDonald House. They had a great time and it was a family from Wellington who are big fans which is great! They did take photos but not actually of themselves at the game but of the game.

Will be dropping off stuff for another family to attend this Saturday.

So, along with the food drive we did have a family from Ronald McDonald house attend the game on the weekend. They said they had an awesome time. 

However on Monday morning they found out they were transferred and it was a bit of a whirl wind so RMH has emailed them asking for photos, which if the send through they will pass onto me.

I'm not sure. They will have charities that they work with, though I think I do remember them doing a visit sometime years before.

It might be doom and gloom on the pitch and with the FFA but pics like above make it bearable and certainly rewarding. Cheers Matt, you da man.

Hi Matt and Fellow Yellow Fever members,

Please see attached the photo of Caleb and Tyla at the Phoenix game on the weekend. The family had an excellent time and was a great day out for the family who have been with us over a month now. The parents Paul and Dania were so appreciative to all of you for your generosity.

Hi Matt and YF members,

Just a quick email to say thanks from the family who attended the game on Christchurch on Saturday. Liam is a HUGE soccer fan and he managed to convince the doctors to push back his treatment for a couple of hours so he could attend. Apparently he returned to hospital with a massive smile on his face!!


Thank you so much for supporting our families throughout the country with some amazing distraction therapy!

And we think moaning about the team's form and transfers etc. is a big deal...

No, we don't think that at all... though evidently some do.

I'm just lucky to be able to be the person who organised it, I just love the results of what we did and how it plays a part in these people's life. Happy to be able to share it.

Matt, even during a crap season, as it is turning out, this brilliant initiative is a shining light for us all. quite heart warming really and as Brandon pointed out, a reality check so to speak.

This is wonderful, its a video that RMH put together to show the wonderful support they have received for their families and includes our #FeverDreams and shows Micah with his family at a Nix game.
