Love & Support for Dan and his family as he fights Motor Neurone Disease (MND)
Dan and Carolyn need your help to support the family as they battle MND
Stokes Valley, Lower Hutt
Today, we reach out to you with heavy hearts to share the story of Cay & Eliza, and deeply loved Husband and Father Dan, who is facing a battle no wife or child should ever have to watch him fight.
Earlier this year, Dan - a devoted father and husband, and the main breadwinner, was diagnosed with the cruel and life limiting Motor Neurone Disease, also known as ALS. The progression has been rapid and the prognosis is awful. Currently, Dan is not able to access parts of his home easily as his mobility deteriorates, and accessing the community as a family is hard. Time for creating lasting memories for Eliza of her Dad and their family as a unit is also running out.

Use of funds
The money raised will be used to alter the bathroom and other areas for Dan's comfort, contribute towards a mobility vehicle, and provide opportunities to create family memories. Anything remaining will go towards end of life care and funeral expenses
