    After some challenges and delays due to a low blood count, I'm almost celebrating starting cycle 3 this week! I am conscious during the infusions of all your acts of kindness and support. A HUGE thanks to Owen Franks who auctioned his 80th All Blacks test jersey for my cause and to Sam for making such a generous bid. There are so many people in a similar challenging circumstances, its heartbreaking. Missy

    Thank you all so much! Family, friends, colleagues and strangers, we have been blown away and truly humbled by your love and support. We've just caught our breath but will of course be thanking each of you personally in the coming weeks. If any private donors would be comfortable letting us know who they are, we would love the opportunity to thank you personally.

    Missy was able to find two vials of Brentuximab and completed her first cycle of chemotherapy on 01 June 2022 (we will post an update on her progress shortly). We have also been able to make the order for the second cycle of chemotherapy which will be administered on 20 June 2022, your overwhelming generosity has alleviated the stress and made this all possible. We are eternally grateful.

    Dave, Missy and the tribe!
