Help Malcolm Beat Cancer

In November 2021, Wiki Mulholland passed away at 43 after a 3.5-year battle with breast cancer.

She left behind her beloved husband Malcolm and their three children – Molly Rose (21), Ihaia (17) and Patrick (14) – and their first moko, Manaia (1).

In July 2022, academic, advocate and devoted father and grandfather Malcolm received the devastating news that he had an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

- Malcolm’s Cancer Journey

Malcolm’s cancer was found by chance during a health check. It was initially thought to have spread to one lymph node and his specialists were divided as to whether it was curative.

In August, Malcolm received surgery to remove the prostate gland and surrounding lymph nodes.

He sought treatment privately as it gave him the best chance of catching the cancer before it spread – vital as a widowed father of three.

Thankfully, Malcolm’s prognosis is positive and his severity was downgraded from aggressive to moderate post-surgery.

- Why we want to give back

Malcolm has amassed medical bills exceeding $60,000 for private treatment. He requires follow-up care and possibly radiation therapy.

The Mulhollands established Patient Voice Aotearoa after Wiki's diagnosis, successfully campaigning for a Review of Pharmac and the funding of many high profile modern medicines.

Malcolm’s work has arguably saved, extended or improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders. We want to relieve the financial burden while Malcolm battles cancer himself.
