Naomi’s heartbreaking cancer battle
Naomi heartbreaking cancer battle
Christchurch, Canterbury
This is the most heartbreaking thing I could ever imagined having to do but I have no other options!
On Friday, March 8 Naomi was taken into hospital with discomfort in her tummy, she had scans and the following morning was told she had she has cancer, it’s believed that it started in her colon and has spread to her liver and into her chest and lymph nodes, it is at stage 4 and very aggressive 😭 We have 2 amazing daughters 11 & 13 years old who are about to have their worlds ripped apart!
So I’m writing this to try and generate as much support as possible so she can have some quality in the time she has left, she is unable to work therefore money is very very tight, I want her to be able to do as much as possible and create some forever memories with our girls and to make her time left as happy as can possibly be!
So I’m extremely sorry for asking …… BUT SHE NEEDS YOUR HELP…… OUR GILRS NEED YOUR HELP…… WE NEED YOUR HELP….. PLEASE HELP 😭

Latest update
Naomi has sadly lost her battle ! 7 October 2024
It’s with great sadness and some relief we wanted to let you know Naomi passed away peacefully this morning under the care of Nurse Maude hospice staff and surrounded by loving family.
We can not express our gratitude enough to the cast of thousands that have supported her, and us as family over these past 7 months.
From a shock cancer diagnosis just before her 45th birthday until this morning Naomi has faced this with grace, humour and an inner strength. We could not be more proud of her.
Her cheeky and infectious nature touched many and she carried that right through this challenging period.
Naomi used the time to lift awareness of bowel cancer and urge people not to think of it as an old persons disease, and to get to the doctor if on any regular discomfort- and to push your GP to test test test.
She was also able to spend precious time with her young girls taking them to Auckland and the Gold Coast thanks to the many generous donors, many strangers who recognised this isn’t fair for a young mum who should have had a life time ahead of her.
The support from her friends from across the decades and around the world has been consistent and astounding. From the hundreds who gave money at the Givealittle page to the drivers, visitors, organisers, soul sisters, family and friends she loved you all so much, and we couldn’t have done it with out you.
As per her wishes Naomi will have a private cremation in the coming days.
