Support for Brendon, Kathryn and their family during his battle with Pancreatic Cancer

Stoke, Nelson

Kia Ora whanau,

Less than one week ago, Brendan was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer and placed into hospice. This has absolutely devastated Brendan and his wife, Kathryn, and their family.

Presently, there is enormous uncertainty surrounding Brendan's diagnosis and future.

Brendan and Kathryn have two beautiful girls, Willow and Hope, and two boys, Ethan and Max, who are currently in Wales.

Brendan is the main supporter of his family, while Kathryn is a second-year nursing student.

As a consequence of the news, Brendon has stopped working and Kathryn has put her studies on hold while they come to terms with their tragic reality and the burden of significant financial stress for their family.

Brendan and Kathryn are not ones to ask for help, but they need our support more than ever!

One way to help this beautiful family is to ease some financial challenges.

If you can, "we ask you to give a little."

I met Brendon through work and I have an amazing memory of when he lent me his car (Isuzu Bighorn) for the day in Christchurch when I was learning. We also both competed in a home beer brewing competition with Coffee. An amazing guy. X
