Quiz Night a resounding success!
18 November 2024What an incredible evening with a full house, incredible prizes, fun and hilarity and some tough questions ensuring teams had to really work hard to vie for the title of champion team. A huge thank you to the teams who participated, the 65 generous sponsors, St Joseph's Upper Hutt staff, students and whānau, and the wider community who have shared and supported this event. Close to $19 000 was raised for Teina. This would not have been possible without the incredible organisation of this evening by Kylie. Thank you again to everyone for your generosity and support xo

From the bottom of my heart, thank you xo
24 September 2024Posted by: Teina McVeyKia ora e te whānau,
From the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you to you all for the love and support. My family and I have been absolutely blown away by people near and far supporting us as we navigate this thing. My heart is full and while the cancer might be trying to have its way in my body, pages like this prove it has no place in my heart and mind.
Yesterday was a great day - I started KEYTRUDA and we sent an eviction notice to this cancer, something that wouldn’t have been possible if wasn’t for all you amazing humans.
The other reason that yesterday was amazing? My bad ass Dr wrote to PHARMAC for a special exemption to the funding and yesterday they replied. By some miracle that they have approved the funding of 4 rounds. This is not something they normally do and was a complete surprise to us all.
The fight is still on. We don’t know what the future will hold, but what we do know is we have an absolute army of love behind us.
We are so humbled and grateful for the immense generosity from family, friends and people we haven’t even met.
Arohanui,
Teina, Jayden, Arty and Daniela xo

So happy to get this update Teina. I can’t believe they are funding four rounds of Keytruda, that’s the best news. My Prayers and thoughts are with you daily Teina and I know your positive attitude will get you through this incredibly hard time. Have faith, surround yourself with positivity and just know we are all praying and manifesting a positive outcome. We all have so much love for you Teina, you truly are a special person. Kia Kaha girl! ♥️
