Help Olly's fight with Bowel cancer

$16,139 donated
Given by 148 generous donors in around 3 months

To keep fighting this battle, we need help to pay for these very expensive drugs.

Auckland

As many of you know Olly has bowel cancer which has spread to his liver. He has done 14 rounds of chemo. We initially got some great results but now 3 of the tumours seem to be growing again. Luckily there is a new treatment on the scene known as BEACON Triplet Therapy. Apparently this is a real game changer and last year the FDA awarded it breakthrough drug status.

We really appreciate your Dry July efforts. We know it is a real sacrifice for most of you.

If you are not doing Dry July then please hold on to your money- for now- we will be holding a Bogan Bingo night in August and a few other fundraising events later in the year and would love you to be part of these.

Love from us all.

Some good news!!!  25 September 2019

Hi all- a huge thanks to you all for your donations. Just to let you know Olly had a scan yesterday and got the results this afternoon. The magic pills seem to be working. The report he got back says “there has been a significant response...all of the lesions have shown a reduction in size and many are now very difficult to visualise”. The biggest lesion on his liver has halved in size. We are absolutely thrilled. Olly will keep taking the pills and keep you updated. Thanks again for all your support. We really appreciate it!!!
