Stepping out onto the red carpet, hair glossy and smile beaming, Zoe Osgood has plenty to celebrate. Two years ago, the Blenheim teen was in Christchurch Hospital undergoing chemotherapy for bone cancer. But those dark days were far from her mind on Saturday as she was treated to a special once-ina-lifetime day out with her friends. It had been “the best day ever,” says Zoe, 15, who also enjoyed a private flight from Omaka, lunch at Haven Café and a mini makeover. Arriving at Event Cinema for a private screening of Wakanda Forever, the Marvel fan was full of smiles having arrived in style in a convoy of classic cars. “This is the first time I’ve been able to wear this dress. I got it for a formal but was sick and couldn’t go. “I’m having the best day; I even got a chance to take the controls of the plane.” Zoe was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in 2020 after she got an MRI for what her family thought was a sports injury. Mum Michelle stayed with Zoe while she underwent surgery and rounds of chemotherapy
