Help 22-year-old Meg in her ongoing battle against cancer!

Marewa, Napier

Meg Higgs is a remarkable 22-year-old who has been bravely battling Neuroblastoma since she was just six years old. This rare and aggressive cancer has challenged her more than once, with multiple relapses and treatments along the way. Meg has shown extraordinary resilience, making history as the first person in New Zealand to trial a drug that is now widely used to combat this disease.

Despite her struggles, Meg has remained positive and determined to complete her nursing degree, aiming to give back to others once she overcomes this latest challenge. Currently facing a new tumor in her left lymph node, she has already undergone seven rounds of chemotherapy and is now pursuing radiation treatment. To enhance her recovery, Meg is seeking additional holistic therapies at the Sanoviv Medical Institute in Mexico, where she can receive cutting-edge, integrative care.

The total cost for this three-week program is over NZD 80,000. While her family is doing everything they can, they need your support to make this treatment possible. Any donation would be greatly appreciated and will make a significant difference in Meg's fight for a healthy future.

A Brief Update xx  4 September 2025

Hi Everyone,

Meg and us all as her family just want to share an update on her current health.

Devastatingly the cancer has returned already. Meg is in Wellington hospital receiving exceptional care by her dedicated oncologist and the brilliant staff here. She could not be in better hands so we are so grateful for that.

We are continually grateful for your ongoing support, love and prayers you continue to send her way.

Love to you all.

Arlene
