Our beautiful friend Candice is going through treatment for stage 3 breast cancer.

Her doctors have recommended a treatment called Enhertu, which they believe offers her the best chance of a cure. Unfortunately, this treatment is not funded for her in New Zealand. The cost is approximately $168,000, and Candice and her husband, Martin, are currently applying to withdraw their KiwiSavers to help cover the expense.

We have created this page to help support Candi and her young family with the cost of treatment and the financial pressures that come with a cancer diagnosis.

Contributing is completely optional, and only for those who are in a position to do so. There is absolutely no pressure or expectation. Any support, whether through a donation, sharing this page, or simply keeping Candi and her family in your thoughts, will be received with love and gratitude.

Enhertu is funded in Australia and other OECD countries. There is currently an open letter to political leaders calling for the funding of Enhertu and other life-saving medicines for New Zealanders. If you would like to support this cause, please consider adding your name to the letter:

Candice would also love to encourage everyone reading this to do a breast self-check every month. Early detection can make a significant difference to treatment outcomes.

With love and gratitude
