Support for our Struggling Son Michael Williams who is fighting his life against Inoperable stage 4 Melanoma.
Auckland
The following Description is in my son Michael's own words:
"Hello my name is Michael; I am 31 years old and have had many health issues growing up and have now just been diagnosed with an inoperable stage 4 melanoma cancer attached to my small intestines main artery. I have been married to my loving and supportive wife for 2 years, and we have just recently become a family with having our first awesome son James who will soon be turning 7 months.
Without the money needed to pay for the drug Keytruda my life expectancy is 6 to 12 months. I truly fear I will not get to see my child grow up or be there to support my wife while he does. As I have said at the start my many health issues are a complex congenital heart defect that I was born with and has given me many arrhythmias, born without a spleen which was one of the reasons why I contracted pnemuicocal meningitis at age 12 (which I was able to survive with little to no existing damage), have thick blood that has given me a stroke age 2 losing the entire left side of my body (that I reclaimed with hard work). I had finally got my life together operations, medication, a family and a job. Then the cancer diagnosis. I tell you this to show you that I am a fighter and the worst thing I hate to hear is that there is no option there is one and I need your help to make it possible."

Update as at the 2nd of May: We really need to raise $40,000 for the first round of treatments as soon as possible.
Please help to make this possible, as I do not want to see my son Die before I. We really need your support.
Michael is our 31 year old Son.
He has always been a fighter all his life originally Diagnosed with a Complex Congenital Heart defect at 8 weeks old he has had to struggle most of his life and now he needs everyones' help to extend his life and fight this stage 4 melanoma to be here for his Wife and Son.
The Treatment Michael needs is going to be ongoing for at least Two Years.

Also, our son in-law Matt has been supporting her in doing these various endeavours and even chipping in support by offering his services as prizes and his company web-page to link to the Givealittle website.
