In April 2000 i was diagnosed with a 6.5 cm brain tumor which was removed immediately catching meningitis i remained there for 10 weeks then i was diagnosed with a rare disease call Von Hippel Lindau disease/syndrome (VHL) causing me to have a further 2 brain surgeries as well as kidney and eye surgery as well.

The terrible part of all of this is that the medical profession has failed me as this tumor was first seen back in 2002 now that they have looked back but i was only told in 2015 i had a 4 cm (now 5 cm) inoperable tumor that has metastasized to the liver which has now tripled in size over the last year.

I'm sad i will not get to see my grand children or my kids weddings and walk them down the isle on there special day i also don't feel i have finished teaching them life's lessons getting them ready for there life ahead. My son Seth and daughter Shawna are beautiful loving caring well mannered kids who tell me they love me many times a day near making me cry and sometimes do. I love them with all my heart and want to leave them with security and memories of there dad.

Please give a little to help our fight and flight toward a happy life for my two lovelies and prolong my life so i can get as much time as i can with the ones i love. Kent

Use of funds

First off i need $50,000 to receive treatment which is available in Melbourne to help stop and shrink tumors and prolong my life.

Secondly i'd really like to pay my mortgage off which is $108,000 so my children have a home to call there own when i'm gone and last of all i'd love to take my kids on a holiday to create some last memories and spend valuable time with them before i get to sick $5,000- $10.000.

Thank you all 1 September 2018

I would like to thank everyone for the kind support.

I have had treatment which worked but didn't in some respects.

I have recently had radiation as cancer has got very painful and I've lost around 70% of the use of my left arm as well as my right hip has gotten to the point I cannot walk without a big limp.

Settled in Wanaka now to give my children a better life but really miss my friends and family back home in Pukekohe...it was a hard desicion but it was for my kids not me...they love it here.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Kent
