A fundraiser with Genuine Heart
Being told your precious child has a heart condition is the news no family wants to hear. But every week 12 children are diagnosed with a major childhood heart condition. More than 550 major heart surgeries and procedures are carried out on children in New Zealand annually.
Drinks company Pete’s Natural has come up with a refreshing way to support families going through this unimaginable stress.
It is launching a special limited run of Pink Lemonade in collaboration with Heart Kids NZ with $1 from each bottle sold going to the charity.
Pete’s Natural is a family-owned company that makes lower-sugar, additive-free drinks at its solar-powered factory in Motueka.
Marleen Suy, aka Mrs Pete, says they approached Heart Kids NZ after hearing their precious mascot Māia Bear was stolen earlier this year, and after discussions, the pink lemonade collaboration was born.
Working with Heart Kids NZ was an easy thing to do as they had similar values, Marleen says.
Marleen says the Pink Lemonade would be a limited run of 11,000 bottles, meaning there is the potential to raise $11,000 for Heart Kids NZ.
The special Pink Lemonade will be available online and at selected suppliers who choose to sell it. Heart Kids NZ will also be supporting it and selling it at their events.
Heart Kids NZ walks alongside families providing support, encouragement, and hope throughout their hugely stressful and uncertain journey.
The collaboration has been timed for Heart Kids NZ's Awareness Week which runs from September 29 (World Heart Day) until October 8.
You can purchase the lemonade online here, or at Heart Kids NZ events.

Issue 115 is packed with inspiration for all kinds of cosy meals – whether you’re dining alone, as two or with a few. We start with our Plating Game interview with Jesse Mulligan which inspired a medley of curries and sides then move on to a round up of easy one-pan chicken dishes, a variety of pasta bakes and meatballs, and using one simple yet delicious tart base we whip up five fab filling options. Sarah’s wintry faves include a moreish chorizo (not) carbonara, lamb and spinach filo pie and we finish off with sweet treats and decadent puds. We love seeing what you create, don’t forget to share your dish dishes with our Facebook community. When it comes to winter cooking, make it SIMPLY YUM!
