Help Flick access the treatment she needs to give her the best chance of a cancer-free future

Hawke's Bay

My wife Flick is 39 and is currently fighting Stage 3 breast cancer. She has already been through two surgeries and is working her way through an intense chemotherapy regime, with radiation and ongoing hormone treatment still ahead.

Because her type of cancer carries a high risk of recurrence, the next part of her treatment includes an additional drug (abemaciclib) that her oncologist believes can help reduce that risk. Unfortunately, this medication is not fully funded in New Zealand. The treatment is planned over two years, with us needing to fund approximately $66,000 around half of the total cost.

This is a huge financial commitment for our family. After everything Flick has already been through, it is incredibly hard knowing there is another treatment available that could give her a better chance at a long life, but the cost is standing in the way.

For us, this isn't about taking chances or trying something experimental. It is about accessing an additional treatment recommended by her oncology team and knowing we have done everything we possibly can to give Flick the best chance of beating this.

We are asking for your help to make that possible.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help us give Flick the best possible chance of putting cancer behind her. If you can't donate, sharing this page would mean just as much.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Flick and our family. Your messages, encouragement and generosity mean more than we can say.

A Little Update On Flick's Journey  12 October 2026

We’re happy to share that Flick has now finished chemotherapy, which has been a long and challenging part of her journey.

She’s now moved on to the next stage and has started radiation. It’s a relief to have chemo behind us, and while radiation brings its own challenges, we’re taking things one step at a time and staying positive.

Reaching just over $20,000 is an incredible milestone, and it’s been amazing to see so many people supporting Flick and our family. Your generosity is helping us through a really tough time and making a real difference as we navigate the next steps of her treatment.

There’s still a way to go, but having so many wonderful people behind us makes a huge difference.

From our family, we’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported us in so many different ways.
