Dancing with the Stars' CF Heroes!

An incredible $9250 was raised for cystic fibrosis when Dancing with the Stars' contestants appeared on All Star Family Feud on Monday.

DWTS winning contestants Jessica Quinn, Shavaughn Ruakere, Zac Franich and Suzy Cato were playing for CFNZ up against Robert Rakete, Gilda Kirkpatrick, David Seymour and Naz Khanjani who were supporting the Starship Foundation.

It turns out we have Suzy Cato to thank for nominating CFNZ as the charity for her team to support. She knows someone with CF who has thrived - helped with the assistance of CFNZ.
The show came down to a nail biting finish, and All Star Family Feud pledging $10 for every point helped push Suzy Cato's team over the $9000 mark.

It was exciting hearing the news that a DWTS team would be playing for CFNZ for the first time, and the announcement on our Facebook Page received a record number of 469 likes.

Some CFNZ staff and Auckland Branch committee members got the chance to attend the recording, with Anthea, Kelly and Niall pictured with our favourite Dancing with the Stars.
