Good bastard with a treatment plan to beat cancer
Marlborough
Two months ago, Corn got the words no one wants to hear: “You have cancer.”
He’s been diagnosed with myeloma — a blood cancer that attacks the bone marrow. There are treatments, but the best option for Corn right now is a new drug called Daratumumab. It’s a game-changer, but it’s not funded in NZ and costs $10,000 a month for a 1 year course.
This treatment will give Corn the best chance to get strong enough for stem cell and T-cell transplants later on. He’s ready to fund it himself, but we reckon he shouldn’t have to face that alone.
Corn’s always been the guy to give the shirt off his back — now it’s our turn. We’re aiming to cover at least 6 months of treatment. Anything you can give helps, and sharing this with others who know Corn would mean the world.

Thanks !!! 2 October 2025
We’ve been blown away by the response to Corn’s page. You should all pat yourselves on the back—you’ve warmed a lot of hearts. The support and generosity, have been absolutely incredible.
Because of you, Corn now has front-foot access to the treatment he needs. Every donation—big or small—lightens the load on him and his girls and gives them real purpose to keep pushing forward.
And it’s not only about the money. The positive energy, encouragement, and strength your generosity has created is what truly lifts Corn and his loved ones right now.
So once again—THANK YOU.
