Help Jeremy continue to see positive results in his fight against cancer.

Jeremy Smith is 39 years old and is a Husband, a Son, a Brother, a friend and an upstanding New Zealander.

Jeremy is currently serving in the NZ Army as a Lieutenant Colonel and has dedicated the past 21 years of his life in loyal service to New Zealand. This has seen him complete three operational deployments including Afghanistan, Egypt, and most recently South Sudan. Jeremy is one of the rare individuals within the New Zealand Army who leads not only through his rank, but more often through the genuine relationships he builds with those that work alongside him.

After Jeremy’s deployment to South Sudan, he was informed that he had been Stage 3 for most of the year and that it had progressed to his Lymphatic System. Since then he has had ongoing treatment which has included removing 96 lymph nodes, multiple neck surgeries, failed treatments, radiation therapy, immunotherapy and numerous other surgeries. Recently Jeremy travelled to Mexico to attend an experimental cancer treatment facility, in a last ditch effort to try and gain some reprieve from negative results.

While fortunately his most recent scan have shown some positive results, the above has cost in the realm of 6 figures.

Jeremy is not the type to ask for help, but would be the first to reach out and help others. He has had a positive impact on many people’s lives throughout the years and any support would go a long way on his road to recovery.

If the goal is not met, I will still go, but the amount of treatment and medications purchased to return home with will be reduced accordingly.
