Leila takes on Tongue Cancer with Reza as Chief Support Person

Whangaparaoa, Auckland

On February 22 Leila bravely shared with us on Twitter about her personal health journey:

"Sometimes you need to stop what you are doing, life forces you to change your path! My turn, I couldn't be sad, this is life, up and down!

Hope I can get back and speak or record video soon! I was diagnosed with Tongue Cancer last month and I will have a complicated surgery on 27 Feb"

Leila and Reza have made strong connections with people all over the world and I know many of us will want to send love, prayers and support. This is hard to do when you're far away, so I'm starting this page as a way to facilitate that process.

!!No amount is too little and every little bit is appreciated!! Thanks for all the donations so far.

Add your favorite songs, the song that makes you smile, one that you listen to when you're sad or angry to just let it out, or just something that helps say what you don't know how to say. We'll probably end up with a rather eclectic mix of music from all over the world. 🎵
