Help a young father in his fight against stage 4 cancer

Our family was recently blindsided by the news that my husband, Vaughn, has been diagnosed with aggressive stage 4 bowel cancer which at this stage is considered inoperable and thus incurable. As parents of two young children (Nathan age 6 and Zac age 1), we are reeling but focused on getting him the best treatment possible.

A breakthrough combination therapy (Encorafenib and Cetuximab) is now the gold standard for Vaughn’s specific cancer, but these drugs are not currently funded in NZ. We are currently facing two difficult paths:

• Stay in NZ: Paying $10k–$15k per month for private treatment.

• Relocate to Australia: Where these drugs are funded but we face losing family support and incurring huge relocation costs.

We are raising funds to give Vaughn the best chance to be there as his children grow up. Any contribution, no matter the size, helps us focus on his health. Let's help Vaughn kick cancer’s butt!
