Please help our strong Levi to get access to unfunded chemotherapy.

Our big strong Levi has unfortunately had a large setback. On the latest MRI scan it showed an aggressive glioblastoma tumour on the occipital lobe. This in turn has meant he has lost most of his vision.

Levi has completed 10 rounds of radiation and 3 weeks of chemotherapy. The next stage is a consult with a private oncologist to access the unfunded drug Avastin. This medicine can be life saving and could help Levi extremely. Unfortunately due to having to go to a private clinic this will cost several thousands of dollars. The first consultation is around $600 for an hour. Every time the drug is administered it will cost a few thousand dollars. Unfortunately this drug is not funded in New Zealand, however it is funded in several other countries around the world.

Before becoming unwell, Levi was a coach, sports massage therapist, actor, voiceover artist and a competitive arm wrestler. Over the years he has given his time and skills away freely. Volunteering as a coach and trainer from the early age of 18. A regular at charity events, fundraising for a number of organizations including sponsoring amateur athletes who are self-funded and representing New Zealand.

Levi is an incredible father to 3 year old Ivo, we have every hope that with this drug he will be able to see his son grow up.

Thank you for all your generosity and love.
