Maegens Journey

Leukaemia is a cancer of the white blood cells. The type of Leukaemia that Maegen has is called B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. (BALL). It is a cancer that originates in the bone marrow & develops quickly. The chemotherapy plan that Maegs is on will take 2 years where we are hopeful she will be in remission. There is no reason this has happened to Maegs, but she is in the right place to fight it.

Before we received this challenging news Maegs was waking up every morning to our amazing 18 month son Nico, and ensuring that every day for him was full of joy and adventure. Maegen also had overcome a big challenge where she has recently completed her degree in teaching with a goal to become a teacher at Matamata Primary School, she succeeded this goal in May when she became a teacher at Matamata Primary School.

The biggest struggle for Maegen through this challenge is the separation of her and Nico as Maegs is in the Auckland Motutapu oncology unit and those under 10 are not allowed in the ward for patient safety.

Maegen will beat this small challenge that has come our way with a great support foundation that is praying for her everyday, we are very thankful for any donations and all your support.

Your extremely kind donations will be very helpful in helping with the cost of having to stay in Auckland and family always having to be here. We will also be using the donations to help with childcare for Nico as he needs normality and to be looked after.
