Mark Molloy - Hunting, Fishing, Family and Good Bastard!

$20,915 of $60,000 goal
Given by 95 generous donors in 4 weeks

One minute out working, fishing, hunting and loving life to the fullest to being in hospital needing to raise 50k for medication.

West Coast Region, Westland District

Last week Mark was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma having discovered a large tumour in his chest. We are trying to raise funds to pay for Nivolumab a non funded treatment medication. This form of treatment gives Mark a 20% higher chance of the cancer not returning and a higher overall cure rate.

About Mark. A 38 year old West Coast born and bred, outdoor orientated family man with 2 young children who all love hunting and fishing.

Our families have been connected for years. I first met Mark as a baby when I briefly lived with his Grandparents but became friends with him and his beautiful family once they started living in Fox Glaicer in South Westland.

Use of funds

Treatment cost is approx $50,000 And while this is happening life expenses don’t stop..

But if an update   8 July 2025

On the 15th of June 2025, 23 days ago Mark was hospitalised with what we thought was kidney stones. Having had a sore back after a slip at work and a sore chest he had a CT scan looking for stones and damage to his spine. The following morning they delivered the bad news that they had discovered a large tumour in his chest four days later he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma (blood cancer) and 3 fractures of the spine. As to be expected over night life changed for Mark. Having had the first course of chemo with no adverse reactions he is doing reasonably well. With the generous help of friends and family we have managed to raise an amazing amount of nearly $20,000.00 through the givealittle page to go towards non funded nivolumab treatment which he will start this week. Words cannot express how thankful we are to each and every one of you for your absolutely generous donations for this we are forever greatful!
