Help Carlyn kick cancer to the curb!

Carlyn has Hodgkin’s Lymphoma – a cancer she has courageously been fighting since the tender age of 14. Over the years multiple chemo treatments, radiation and a stem cell transplant have given short-term success, but the cancer keeps returning. With no public treatment options left, Carlyn’s only hope for a cure rests with a NZ Government-approved, but unfunded drug, called Pembrozlizumab.

This immune therapy treatment ($60,000) and care ($23,000), to be carried out at St George’s Hospital in Christchurch, cannot get underway until we have money in the bank, and this is where we are rallying our friends, friends of friends, and people we simply don’t know, to dig deep into their pockets to help us get Carlyn’s treatment underway!

Carlyn has always kept her cancer journey close, but has reluctantly allowed us to share her story so that we can show her the love and step up at a time when she needs us the most.

Despite the challenges ahead we know, through past experience, Carlyn’s positivity and optimism will continue to shine as she fights to give this cancer the middle finger once and for all! 😊

Please join our fundraising race to $87,000 (cancer treatment plus Give a Little page service fee of 5%) to give Carlyn the chance of kicking this cancer to the curb and living the long and happy life she so deserves.

Your donation, big or small, is one step further to our fundraising target and means the world!!
