      Hi dear Tim and Cass

      So sorry you haven't heard from us for a time - we were away overseas, mostly in Europe, for a month (Tau co-presenting at a conference in Bern) but back now and I was just about to contact you when I saw this update.

      It looks as if you're in a beautiful place by the sea - so great you bought that caravan.

      We'd love to come and see you when that suits - if you are home in the week or two after New Year and there's a day that looks as if it might work, let us know. We totally get that if we settle on what looks to be a good day, the best thing would still be to check with you early that morning to make sure Tim feels up to a visit that day.

      Sending our love and support, Liz and Tau xx

    Hi everyone. Just an update to say that the B Raff tablets have not worked so Tim has stopped taking them and is now under the Hospice for palliative care. He is now on steroids and is feeling good at the moment. We have done a couple of trips with the caravan and will take each day as it comes. Thank you all for your kind donations and messages. Aroha from Tim and whanau.

    Tim had a medical event while we were at Pauanui and ended up in Waikato Hospital. He is back home now and slowly recovering.

    We really appreciate all your kind words and donations. Can we ask that you share this link on your facebook pages to keep everyone in the loop. Regards Tim, Cass and family.

    Thanks to your wonderful and generous donations Tim has received and started on his new drugs. We hope the side effects are not too much and he gets a little more time on them.

  • Feeling Good

      5 August 2024

    Firstly thank you so so much to everyone that has donated to Tim. We appreciate this so much. The money donated is enough to pay for one months drugs which are 5.5K a month.

    Tim is feeling good at the moment as they have given him some drugs to decrease the swelling in the tumours in his brain. We are starting on the new drugs this week and will keep you up dated.
