Hi :) I am involved in supporting a petition to double the Pharmac medicine budget and wondered if your family might be happy to sign and promote it to your networks? A link is below, https://www.parliament.nz/en/pb/petitions/document/PET_91080/petition-of-malcolm-mulholland-for-patient-voice-aotearoa.

This is a link to a recent Facebook post - https://www.facebook.com/patientvoiceaotearoa/posts/127005762002313.

The aim of this petition is to help Kiwi's like Nicola get the medicines they need, and raise the volume on this issue ahead of the 2020 budget and next year's election. The more signatures we can get, the bigger the impact.

Warm Regards

Waverley

Hi there Nicola!

I was just reading your story, and was really touched to see how many donations you've received to go towards your treatment.

I'm Charlotte, a student journalist at the New Zealand Broadcasting School, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in me doing a TV news story about you and your situation at the moment! It would involve meeting up, and basically you just telling me a bit about your journey thus far. It would be featured as part of one of our nightly Metronews broadcasts, starting this coming Monday.

It might raise a little more awareness for your cause. I can see this is very important to your family as well, and if they would be keen on having a chat too that would be totally welcome! I've flicked you a message on Facebook which has a few more details.

Ngā mihi,

Charlotte
