NORM'S FIGHT FOR LIFE - urgent help is needed to fund cancer treatment.

Norm's plans & dreams for the future were shattered on the 8th OCT this year after being diagnosed with an incurable rare type 2 papillary renal cancer that has spread to his lungs & lymph nodes.

Although no cure, treatments are available to try and slow the cancer's progression to give Norm and his family as much precious time together making more family memories.

Norm's treatments are not funded, so we need to raise as much money as possible to help cover this cost, Norm will be on the Pembrolizumab IV treatment (Immunotherapy) that has 16 x infusions every 3 weeks along with a daily oral drug called Lenvatinib,

Norm starts his treatment on 23rd October as time is of the essence to allow more time with his family. Norm has been married to his best friend, Ann, for over 30 years, and they have 4 amazing children, Cameron, Gabrielle, Rhys & 11 year old Isabella. The family have lived here in Kerikeri for over 17 years , and have loved being involved in the wider community.

The family would like to thank everyone for their love, compassion and support as they face the difficult road ahead, and we will keep you all updated on Norm's progress.

If you know Norm & Ann, you will know that asking for help doesn't come easily to them.

A donation, or by simply sharing this page, will make a real difference in helping the family cover Norm's treatment costs and focus on what matters most - Norm's quality of life.
