Support for Jaz Hinton

12 year old Jaz Hinton from Taranaki has recently been diagnosed with an invasive, inoperable brain tumour. He is currently in Starship Hospital awaiting results of a recent biopsy which will determine his treatment options; However, at this stage the outlook is unknown.

Jaz is loved by so many people - not only by his family but the wider Taranaki community. He is a talented sportsman with the warmest of hearts and a kind, gentle nature. He deserves the brightest of futures.

As expected, Jaz's recent diagnosis has had a huge emotional impact on his family and friends. His parents, Floss and Brad, and siblings, Alexandra and Caleb, are giving him all the love and support they can. Jaz's hospital admission and potential treatment options will understandably have financial repercussions for the Hinton family. Therefore, we are appealing to you all to dig deep and help this beautiful family give their wonderful son the best possible chance to fight this terrible, potentially life-threatening tumour.
