Raising money for life changing treatment for a real good bugger
Wainui, Gisborne
Sven’s journey with cancer. Help our community raise funds for a life-saving immunotherapy treatment in Japan.
Sven was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer with metastasis 8 years ago. Since then he has faced 12 surgeries, multiple procedures, radio- and chemotherapy. Sven’s courage and strength have seen him take every imaginable step to improve his health.
Sven, Sanne, and their daughter Jade are a tight-knit family who have been a part of the Gisborne community. For those who know the family, you know the immense challenges they face.
Recently, the family was told the tumour in his liver is no longer treatable here in New Zealand. His only option is immunotherapy in Japan – a treatment that can be life-saving for his condition.
It’s not been easy for the family to ask for help. As a community, we are stepping in to help them raise funds to make it possible.
Sven says “I’ve come a long way which I'm very happy about. I am grateful for the care and support provided by the healthcare professionals here in New Zealand. My goal is to stay alive and I remain hopeful. For this immunotherapy, I will have to leave the country. The flights, accommodation and therapy are very expensive. We hope that with your help we can achieve this and beat cancer once and for all.”
