Gary's two daughters need their Dad to get better. Please help, so Gary can focus all his attention on beating this evil cancer.

Auckland

We got some terrible news earlier this week that my friend Gary has bowel cancer. That would be bad enough by itself, but now it turns out that tumor has a few friends in Gary's liver. Needless to say, it's very serious and Gary is going to need to take some time off work to focus all his energy on fighting this disease.

Money was already tight before all this. Gary and his wife are separated and share custody of their two young daughters, who are the most important thing in the world to him. Bella is 9 and Charlie is 6 and they both need their Dad to get better!

Gary would never normally ask for any help, but this isn't a normal situation, so any money that you can spare would be a massive help

Gary and I have been best friends since we met working at RadioLIVE more than 15 years ago

Use of funds

Money will be used for day-to-day bills and expenses and any medical bills that pop up. Worrying about money is the last thing Gary needs right now. We don't know when he's going to be able to go back to work full-time, so any donation will be a huge help

Round one: Chemo came out swinging but the judges give the first round to me. However, a hit after the round has me a little staggered.

(Um, boring translation: chemo was good, coming off chemo has me wobbly as today. Have some nerve damage to fingers )

Round 2: July 20
