MEGAN'S BATTLE WITH STAGE 4 CANCER

$7,408 donated
Given by 108 generous donors in around 6 months

Let’s come together to support Megan financially at this tough time & help her beat this cancer!

Auckland

It all started when Megan had a benign mole removed from her face, which in a matter of weeks turned into the diagnosis that would change her life forever; a metastatic melanoma. Megan ended up having surgery over and over in the same place 4 times with major surgery to remove lymph nodes. While Megan was healing from the last major surgery a tumour came back and started growing in the surgery site. Eventually realising surgery and the radiation they had planned would exacerbate it they had to do something else because the scans revealed it was spreading to other areas in the body.

At the age of 28, our beautiful friend Megan Pretorious is now battling Stage 4 Cancer.

Over the last couple of months since receiving the news, Megan and Tom have been dedicating themselves full time to Megan's treatment, research and understanding what can be done.

Megan is currently on a medical trial for 2 immunotherapy drugs called Nivolumab and Ipilimumab.

Any monetary help could really assist with living cost, alternative treatment and quality of life

For anyone who knows Megan you know that she would be reluctant to ask for help. She is the most generous, open, and loving person most of us know.

Now it's time to give our love and support to Megan so she is able to focus on getting better. Anything that you donate will be greatly appreciated. Please spread the word.

Thank you so much.

We love you, Megan.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
