Due to the developing severity of my condition and deteriorating health, I have just been informed by my New Zealand neurosurgeon that he is now prepared to risk the surgery in New Zealand. This will happen within the next several weeks.
This is massive news as it means I will no longer have to raise the funds for having the surgery done privately in Australia.
Although the surgery itself will now be fully covered by the public health system, donations made on this page will continue to go towards care for my children at this time, and other expenses associated with surgery and recovery. As you can imagine I am still unable to work, and won't be able to return to work for at least the duration of my recovery period.
I want to thank you again so much for all you have done and given to support me as I go through this. Your humbling generosity has meant the world to me and my family!
