John's Update 27 March 2018 NEW

John has been trying to raise $50,000 to undergo brain surgery overseas. John & family have managed to find a surgeon that may undergo surgery in New Zealand for a much more reasonable price , so every small donation towards john having surgery with lots of support it can be very possible and we can change his life

----------------------

Our Grandad is going to pass away, But we can literally buy him more precious time with an operation in Sydney that Professor Charlie Tao wants to perform on him, Because Grandad lives in New Zealand, the cost of the operation is almost $100,000. Grandad was diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma MultiForme on the 10th of November 2016. He was given 16 months life expectancy - with Chemotherapy and Radiation treatment, He was told there would be no more treatment only 2% of people diagnosed with Glioblastoma live up to 5 years. He has been preparing for his death, Last month he went to Sydney with Daddy to say goodbye to My Auntie Renee, and my Big Half Sister Aurabella. He saw Doctor Tao who did the scan and told him that he could do an operation to prolong his life - hopefully long enough to find a better treatment or even a cure. Doctor Tao told him his tumor had grown 4mm. We urgently need as much help as possible. Every dollar will count. No one should lose a loved one because they dont have money, The New Zealand Government will not approve any further treatment for terminally ill citizens with a poor prognosis so we are forced to pay big money to get the treatment overseas. We are not asking for much from people even $1.00 will get us a step closer to prolonging grandads life. Thank you so much to everyone that makes donations.

My Father in law was diagnosed 16 months ago with Stage 4 Glioblastoma Multi forne and we were told there was no hope , the bond he shares with all his grandchildren is irreplaceable and i want to raise the funds for him to have treatment to prolong his life with his children and grandchildren.

The money we raise for him will be spent on his surgery and travelling overseas for him and family members if we manage raise more the left over funds will be donated towards research on brain cancer.
