Help Kehau Sullivan

Hi everyone,

We all know of Hawaiian pro surfer and all round legend Pancho Sullivan from when he was on tour. Sadly, Pancho’s daughter Kehau – the newest addition to the Sullivan Family – was born with a heart condition. Kehau has already had an operation to help her keep going and will need around four operations in her lifetime. Insurance will only cover so much of the cost. Myles Padaca and his wife have organized a fundraiser on the North Shore which will go down on the 5th December at Breakers, kicking off at 6pm. If you can’t be there you can go to this website address – Friends-of-Kehau-Sullivan – and make a donation to help Pancho and Haunani with the huge medical costs. There is also going to be an on-line board auction which all of the best surfers in the world have contributed to, so you could pick up a piece of memorabilia while helping out a beautiful family. Pancho has always done so much to help out his community and others all over the world. If anyone ever needed a hand Pancho was always willing to oblige. So lets show our support and return the love. If you can’t get onto the Friends-of-Kehau-Sullivan site but you’d like to help out contact Myles Padaca on email at mylespadaca@gmail.com
Lets all pitch in and help this wonderful loving family so they can concentrate on getting little Kehau strong and healthy for a long and amazing life. Thanks for your time. – Mick Fanning

  2. Definitely lend a hand, children are precious and health-care is (cost-wise) a fraud.
