Help James beat Cancer!

  • 5 Days to go til Gibbosfight fundraising page concludes...

      25 March 2015

    Hi Everyone,

    Firstly big thank you to everyone who has made donations over the past 4 weeks. Just to give you an update, this week the Givealittle organisation makes their monthly payouts to all the recipients so James and Eve have received approx $50k into their acc this week while in Perth which is exactly what the desperately needed to settle some large bills and hopefully conclude their treatment over there.

    I am now putting out a final call, reminder to anyone who thinks they can go the extra mile and perhaps fwd this page onto any people who have mentioned they would like to make a donation or read more about James's plight after hearing you talk about it over the past few weeks.

    Perhaps you know of a club, newsletter, community group that you could get this page link included on. Or perhaps you have some corporate or charitable trusts contacts that may have some funds set aside to donate to a worthy cause in the community such as this.

    We are currently sitting at $56,500 (if including ydays massive $5k donation made direct into their acc). If we can find an extra $3.5k out there through simply word of mouth and a bit of brainstorming then we will hit the magic $60k mark which pays for the 2 x treatment trips they have made over the past 3 months.

    Have a think on how you can help promote this page over it's final 5 days before it closes and help a good bloke get all the backing he needs to knock this thing for 6 Black Caps style!

    - a good mate

    Just wanted to give an honourable mention to the above Charitable Trust who after a great day and night up at NSGC earlier this month managed to raise some great numbers through auctions etc and upon hearing about James plight have generously donated a staggering $5000 towards this cause.

    Please check out www.stpatricksgolftrust.co.nz to learn more about what they do and their fantastic sponsers (see drop down icon tab).

  • Thanks

      5 March 2015

    James and I are both overwhelmed and humbled with the love, support and generosity of our family, friends and complete strangers. This is one hell of a fight we've been given, and it is all of the love and support around us that is keeping us strong and focused.

    The funds raised will cover the second round of Radio Wave Therapy in Perth including flights and accommodation for James, myself and the kids. It will also cover up to 6 months of twice weekly intravenous Vitamin C on our return home.

    "The body achieves what the mind believes". We believe we are going to beat this. It definitely picked the wrong guy to mess with, James is the strongest most determined man i know with so much to live for and so much more to give.

    We depart for Perth on Sunday 08 March, and we are going to knock this tumour for 6!

    Love

    The Gibson's xxx

  • Having trouble donating with internationally issued Credit Card?

      3 March 2015

    We enquired with the helpdesk team at Givealittle and they gave us this answer: "Please send your full credit card number and card holder name along with an 'unblock request' to email helpdesk@givealittle.co.nz "

    If you have any more questions regarding this please feel free to contact Rebekah Gibson or Nicky Sutherland on Facebook as they have looked into this on behalf of overseas friends and family. I will post up any further additional information I receive from them and others on this page of the Gibbosfight fundraiser.

    Thanks Sarah for this info sent and attached below...

    Response from Givealittle - They have blocked certain credit cards internationally due to raising security concerns. In order to unblock the credit card and make a donation, please refer to: https://givealittle.zendesk.com/entries/21771524-How-do-I-donate-if-my-internationally-issued-credit-card-failed.
