Supporting Becki and her kids to fund medication and living costs as well as making sure they can continue to make many more memories
Hamilton, Waikato
Becki Ross is 42 years young. A solo Mum to two amazing teenagers Maddi and Jackson, and a daughter, sister, aunty, friend and teacher to many others.
Becki is known for her sense of humour, big smile, positive attitude and beautiful outlook on life.
Becki has been hit with the hard news, Stage 4 Cancer. A diagnosis no one wants to hear - there’s chemotherapy treatment to help keep the cancer at bay, but no real cure. There are medications (Erbitux is an example)- and they aren’t funded. They’re expensive and may help extend her life and give Becki the opportunity to live longer and have time with her children, family, partner and friends to make more memories.
Becki has inspired many children and their families while teaching at Hillcrest Normal, Marian, St. Peters and Southwell schools more recently. Becki’s enthusiasm for life, and her motivation to show others how to be a good human is evident in the way she treats others, always helping and generous and making the most of each moment.
Let’s do what we can to get Becki the best treatment to give her more time, so she can continue to live life to the full ❤️
F#*k Cancer
I’m Katy one of Becki’s friends, a nurse who wishes there was more funded treatment available in our health system to offer Cancer patients.
Helping Becki with costs while working on beating this cancer and paying for medications not funded (Erbitux) in NZ by pharmac.
Update 16/02/2024 - funds will now be used for bevacizumab instead of Erbitux.
September Update 11 September 2024
Hi all,
Happy September! I thought I would jump in and let you all know how things are tracking in the world of Becki. - I can’t believe we are in September already! So nice to be heading towards some warmer weather and sunshine. - I have been very lucky this year to fit in 2 bucket list trips with my beautiful babes and friends. - I have hit 9 months of treatment - rolling into Round 16 of Chemo next week. Sadly my extra targetted drug that supports my chemo has still not made the governments list of funded drugs. Unfortunately I had to make one of the biggest and saddest devisions of my life and resigned from my Role of Head and Sport at Southwell. My treatment plan and side effects dictated this move. - I am looking for other ways to find my sense of purpose through volunteering roles at Rainbow place and on The Hamilton Cricket Board. - Next Tuesday I have another scan so I am hoping you can all manifest some goodness for me and pray for more progress. - I am still fighting the fight with all i’ve got and totally not going down without a fight! Thank you for being on my team x Bundles of love and sunshine,
Becki x❤️x
