Cancer medication for my brave boy Aiden

$21,373 of $40,000 goal
Given by 117 generous donors in around 4 months

Please help Aiden with his cancer battle

Nelson, Nelson City

As a lot of you are aware, our boy Aiden has been fighting cancer since 2019.

In July 2022 he started on the immunotherapy drug Keytruda, which was funded and helped him immensely, going to work, riding his bike and enjoying life like any boys his age should be.

Unfortunately In November 2023 the Keytruda stopped working and he was diagnosed with 2 brain tumors and his cancer spreading again.

Aiden’s only hope now of trying to control this is with an unfunded drug. Cotellic (Cobimetinib) Zelboraf (Vemurafenib). This comes in at a cost of $50000, $10000 every 4 weeks. After we reach the $50000 the drug then becomes free of charge.

Any donation big or small will be appreciated from the bottom of our hearts.
