Backing Brad through bowel cancer by helping ease the financial burden, so he and Heidi can focus on treatment, recovery, and the road ahead

Hamilton, Waikato

Just two weeks before Brad and Heidi were due to celebrate their wedding, their lives changed unexpectedly. Brad was diagnosed with bowel cancer, turning what should have been one of the happiest times of their lives into one filled with appointments, scans, specialist consultations, and the uncertainty of a potential life changing surgery.

As Brad prepares for treatment, his focus should be solely on his health and recovery. As you could imagine this diagnosis has also brought financial challenges through time away from work, medical expenses, and the ongoing costs of everyday life. That is why we want to do everything we can to support them during this difficult time

This page has been created to help ease some of that pressure so Brad and Heidi can concentrate on what matters most: getting through surgery, recovery, and looking ahead to the future they had been planning together.

Whether you choose to donate or simply share this page with others, every gesture of support would mean a lot.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
