Hi All,

We’re rallying together for someone truly special — Dan Power. A devoted husband, proud father, loyal mate and all-round top bloke, Dan has been courageously battling not just one, but two different cancers across the last 18months. He has had aggressive chemotherapy, radiation and several extreme surgeries to try to treat this. Unfortunately, further chemotherapy and radiation are no longer options for Dan, and the essential next step is immunotherapy — a cutting-edge option that offers real hope, but comes at a devastating cost.

Dan is the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back — he’s helped so many without hesitation. After months of chemotherapy, radiation, and every conventional treatment thrown at him, Dan’s cancer journey still requires more. Immunotherapy has shown promising results in cases just like Dan’s, but at this stage is not funded, offering the chance of keeping this cancer at bay — more memories, more milestones, more life. This treatment comes with a price tag of over $100,000. As most of you know, Dan is a builder by trade and has been away from work for some time already. There is no clear line of sight, to when this fight will end, and he can return to earning an income, so we ask for your support to help us get him through this.

We know times are tough, but even the smallest donation helps. If you can’t give, please share Dan’s story with your networks. Thank you.

Team Power 💛

Update  7 October 2025

Posted by: Sascha McMillan

A lot of you have been asking how Dan’s doing, so I wanted to share an update. The latest scan results weren’t what we had hoped for — it’s been a tough one to take in — but there’s still light ahead. Dan’s now had his first immunotherapy infusion, and we’re holding onto hope that it will find its way and do what it needs to do.

The love, kindness, and support from all of you has been overwhelming in the best possible way. Every message, every thought, every bit of care — it all means more than words can say. We honestly couldn’t do this without you.

Nothing like a health challenge to remind us how much we need each other — to be kind, to check in, and to hug & be present a little more often. ❤️

Lots of Love from The Power Fam XX
