    We did it. Uncle Alex managed to complete the marathon on January 19th as promised and recently Kotoni has completed his chemotherapy. At the end of the race Kotoni was in the better shape and was there to hold his Uncle up. For Doni 4 rounds of Chemo appears to have cleared the Leukemia which is cause for celebration. Time to focus on recovery and building heath and vitality.

    At the same time, his Uncle Alex is preparing for the running fundraiser marathon which is less than one month away (19th Jan). Pictured here are the training team, and the distances are getting longer and longer, but a small hardship compared to Doni's challenge. Kotoni and his family are extremely grateful to those who have donated, or any that may chose to sponsor his Uncle to complete (hopefully) the marathon next month.

  • Kotoni's Marathon

      22 December 2024

    Doni is still in his last (4th) phase of chemotherapy with some tablets to take. It appears this has successfully knocked back the Leukemia cells, but also much of his energy and enthusiasm. He is facing his own healing marathon, as overcoming this illness will take time, multiple hospital visits, tests, biopsies, blood and platelet transfusions, and medications. The big question is what can we do to help prevent the leukemia returning. The best bet is a health lifestyle, good nutrition and the right natural treatments.

    Kotoni is back in for round three of Chemo, a bit like a boxing match. The frist two rounds went well in terms of dealing to the cancer, and all being well he will only have this and one more round. Meantime his uncles running training with two running partners, continues leading up to the marathon in January.

    Kotoni was home for a week which was welcome and much valued. The good news as that his first round of chemo had been very uccessful at knocking back the cancer cells which was positive for all. However he is now back in hospital fo his second round, and with it the side effects and discomfort that is part of chemo. We hope he continues his good progress.

    Kotoni is through his first round of chemo with the usual side effects, but this simply makes him look a little more like his namesake Gordon Dawber. The generous donations and well wishes made by many of you are hugely important helping keep his spirits up. Malo aupito, many thanks.
