Funding for Pippa's Immunotherapy
Help us help Pippa fund her Immunotherapy treatment.
International
Our Pip is fighting the biggest fight of her life against Cancer.
And like me, I'm sure you're wracking your brain for a way to be helpful that isn't in the way of a freezer full of lasagne and bunches of flowers.
This is our opportunity to show Pips that her friends and family are all behind her in her journey in fighting this fight.
Pippa is undertaking a round of immunotherapy - and unfortunately, this is a non-funded treatment named Pembrolizumab (Keytruda). It is an immunotherapy treatment (also called anticancer drug) that works with your immune system to detect and destroy cancer cells.
While the cost of this is high, We're not expecting this community to cover the entire cost, But we know that whatever you can donate will go a long way! it may be $1, $10 or $100 - no minimum donate and its not a competition.
So if you are wanting to contribute in the simplest way possible, donate what you can - every little helps for this cause - which we can all agree is most worthy!

Ngā mihi nui, thank you. 19 January 2023
Kia ora e te whānau,
Just want to say a ginormous thank you to you all. Sorry I am late in the piece to do so. I had every intention to message you all, but it’s been a time! 🤪
Your generosity not matter how big or small has meant that for a cycle of immunotherapy, my whānau has not had the financial burden that comes with it. Thank you. 😔🙏🏻
Further, your generosity is a reminder of how much support & love there is for me, JD and the kids. We are so appreciative of your messages and encouragement through this atrocious situation.
I have one more round of chemo and then it’s just maintenance rounds of immunotherapy. My response to treatment has been “significant” a word not usually used, so this is positive.
Next battle is getting stronger after chemo treatment, considering new hairstyles for my hair when it returns, trying to recreate this scarf style in the meantime and focusing on memory making and living well, as best I can. It’s some comfort to know you’re all in my corner.
Pippa x
