Rex, a caring father, husband, colleague and friend, bravely battling skin cancer. Ready to take on the battle ahead.
Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui
Rex is a caring and loving father (to both human and pets), husband, colleague and friend to many.
He has recently been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (skin cancer) and has a challenging road ahead. He is scheduled for surgery in Wellington later in October, followed by six weeks of daily radiotherapy here in Palmerston North. It will be a long road to recovery.
He will need to take significant time off work to focus on his recovery. We are setting up this page to help cover the indirect costs of his treatment, including transport and accommodation costs in Wellington, as well as daily living expenses whilst Rex is unable to work. Any excess funds will be donated to a cancer charity of Rex's choice.
Any support, big or small, means the world to us and will help our dad focus on getting better. Thank you so much for your kindness, and your supportive messages already.
Rex is my father.
Funds will be used to cover the indirect costs of his surgery and radiotherapy treatment, including transport/accommodation costs and daily living expenses whilst Rex is off work (rent, power).
Thank you all 11 October 2026
