Kitchwin Hills Urge People to Get Behind Jacob!

Media Release - Friday November 27

18 month old Jacob Keyte has certainly shown us all that even during a global pandemic, life really isn't that tough. 

Diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia, Jacob has been undergoing chemotherapy at the John Hunter in Newcastle as well as a range of other procedures.

Jacob Keyte needs your help.

A local Moonan family, James & Blair Keyte certainly have a long battle with Jacob with ongoing treatment necessary over the coming months and possibly years.


This has prompted many local friends and family to donate whatever they can to an online auction which finishes Sunday, hopefully fundraising the money they need to take the time away from work, travel and give Jacob the best care needs. 

With everything from hay to horses and service fee's donated, Kitchwin Hills have donated a breeding package for 6 weeks during the 2021 season. An all inclusive package, basically drop your mare off, we will cover the vet and feed bills and pick her up in 6 weeks after she has foaled and is back in foal. 

Valued at over $4,000, this package should be making double for what is an outstanding cause! 

Please log on to https://elitelivestockauctions.com.au/bid-now/#/sales/90882/lots  to see the full list of donated items and find the Kitchwin Hills package.
