Contribute to support Bridget’s battle against cancer. Back her as she goes back into the trenches of life saving surgery

Hawke's Bay, Hastings District

Six years ago Bridget underwent major surgery for a rogue bowel cancer

And then, in 2024, when a routine scan picked up a new and aggressive cancer, she underwent a year of gruelling surgeries, cancer treatments, chemotherapy and radiation

Applying herself daily through diet, athleticism, orthodox & alternative treatments, and regular psychotherapy, Bridget has defied odds and delivered outcomes her Drs dub as rare as unicorns

But after a year of remission, her recent surveillance MRI pelvis scan has shown that the cancer is back

On April 8th Bridget will be flown to CHCH where she will undergo mega pelvic exenteration

Nils, Joce and Winnie will take turns by her side for the 2 week acute recovery phase, before a much longer road to recovery stretches out ahead of our beloved Bridie

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.
