Help Robert fight cancer for a third time in four years

Gore, Southland

Robert is a single, older man who has been recently diagnosed with mid-rectal cancer. This is Robert’s third bout of cancer in 4 years. These have been three different cancers in different parts of his body. and he is now facing five weeks of gruelling chemo/radiation, followed by several months of further chemotherapy. Because Robert lives in a small, isolated country town he needs to travel 310kms (round trip) to attend his treatment sessions. He will also have additional costs for accommodation while he undergoes his radiation therapy.
