Cherie’s cancer fight

Whangarei, Northland

Cherie was the first person I met when I started at primary school and we have maintained that friendship throughout our lives. We are both now 45 and sadly my bestie is about to have the fight of her life. She has always been a tough cookie but this battle is going to take an entire village. Cherie has been diagnosed with advanced metastatic adenocarcinoma cancer in her liver, pancreas, spleen and kidneys. She is about to embark on aggressive treatments but as a single Mum of two beautiful children (Ayla 12 years old and Lachlan who is 8) and not being able to work this is going to financially be a challenge. Whilst much of the treatment is funded there is plenty that isn’t. If you could spare a few dollars to support this amazing special family would be so grateful.
