Help Keith as he battles incurable blood cancer

Happy New Year, everyone! It's been a few weeks since I set up this page, and I'm blown away by the generosity you have all extended to Keith, Bex and whanau. Thank you so much!

Please find below an update from Bex and Keith:

"Kia ora

Firstly, Thank you, thank you, thank you! We want to share our heartfelt thanks with each and every one of you. Since Keith's initial diagnosis, we feel like we have been in a whirlwind of emotions, decisions and medical treatment. It's only been after Christmas that we've been able to take a little break together as a family at my Mum's bach, to really stop, reconnect and let the reality settle. This experience has certainly given us a new appreciation for really being in the moment.

Keith has been going to weekly chemotherapy treatments. Initially, the treatment didn't affect him too much, but as we get into the rhythm of it and his body is adjusting, he's now experiencing more side effects for a few days, which is challenging.

Despite that, he is doing his best to stay in a positive frame of mind. And his ability to be in this positive place is amplified by the love and support we are getting from friends and whanau. It truly is a deeply humbling experience, and we can't express our thanks enough.

We still have a long road ahead and lots of financial decisions to make. We are so grateful for your generosity and the weight it is helping to relieve. Thank you.

We will update you again in the coming weeks as things progress. Until then, taku mihi aroha ki a koutou katoa.

Bex and Keith
