One Hundred Games, One Thousand Reasons

Blair Colombus, a West Melton front-rower battling stage-four bowel cancer, is set to play his 100th first-grade rugby game — a personal triumph he’s pursued despite missing the sport’s camaraderie and competition. Diagnosed two years ago after mistaking persistent diarrhea for a stomach bug, Blair’s journey includes surgery, lung metastases, and now a new chemo regimen that will sideline him. He’s pushed his treatment back to honor this milestone, while also completing a Bachelor of Management and maintaining his job and family traditions. Supported by his club and community, Blair lives by his motto: keep smiling and live for today — hoping his resilience inspires his kids and offers hope in the face of a relentless fight.
