Maya's Battle Against Breast Cancer

Maya is a dedicated mother of two young children and a loving partner to Caleb. Just recently, Maya and Caleb opened a boxing gym in Whangārei, with the dream of giving their community a safe space to train, grow stronger, and improve their health. The gym was set to be a new, exciting chapter for their family, providing a place to connect and support others.

One week before their grand opening, Maya was devastatingly diagnosed with stage 3, triple negative breast cancer. The most aggressive form of breast cancer, challenging to treat and has higher rates of recurrence. This diagnosis has completely changed their world. Maya now faces months of treatment, which will make it impossible for her to work and help manage the new gym.

On September 23, Maya will begin chemotherapy. Unfortunately, she is not eligible for funded Keytruda, a treatment that could significantly improve her chances of beating this cancer once and for all by 15%. To access Keytruda, the cost is a staggering $100,000, which is beyond what the family can afford on their own.

We are reaching out to our community, friends, and anyone willing to help give Maya the best possible chance at recovery. Your generosity will not only support her treatment but also allow her to focus on her health and her family during this incredibly difficult time.

Every contribution, no matter how small, brings Maya one step closer to the treatment she needs and the future she deserves. Thank you for standing with us in Maya’s fight.
