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 ❤️

Katy Roach's involvement (page creator)

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.

Use of funds

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.

Scan 3 update! 23 July 2024

So today was a little bit of a nervous one as I waited for my Oncologist appointment and the results of my 3rd scan since starting Chemo. - I kept busy, caught up with my beautiful friends for a coffee and belly laughs, went for a soulful walk, had my weekly Vitamin C infusion and chats with a beautiful soul on her own journey. Nothing can describe the anxiety that creeps in when waiting for results when your life is in someone else’s hands and out of your control. - But the news was great! There has been no growth, the cancer is stable and controlled! My Oncologist is one of the most beautiful humans and I feel safe in his hands. We still have a wee way to go to put the main Tumour in a headlock and deal to him but we are tracking in the right direction! - I came home sighing with relief to be greeted with a beautiful gift from another beautiful human. I go into round 13 of Chemo tomorrow full of even more fight and hope! The hospital was a place I used to dread but with it becoming a regular place for me to visit, I’ve seen it in a new light. - Full of so many amazing people giving their blood, sweat and tears for others and making the biggest difference in the world! ❤️Thank you to all of you for being in the ring with me and wrapping me in love and support! - I am truly grateful for every single one of you! ❤️ - Let’s go get it! 🥊
