Orewa College Maths teacher Ms Goulter needs your help to help fund her cancer treatment

Last year Anne was diagnosed with a rare form of melanoma, which resulted in her eye being removed. Anne demonstrated her strength by returning with renewed passion to her teaching job with an eye patch & later a prosthetic eye. Unfortunately in November, Anne and her incredibly supportive family (husband Paul, daughter Bella & son Anthony) discovered the melanoma had metastasized to her liver. There is no treatment available in New Zealand & if treatment is not sought Anne will be fortunate to see another Christmas. Her current goal is to be able to travel to the States next year with Bella & Paul to see Anthony graduate from Drake University.

Anne has been granted compassionate entry to Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital program for the successful drug tebentafusp. This means staying four weeks in Australia, personally paying all expenses. If all goes well, then every subsequent week, Anne will fly to Sydney for the drug infusion. The financial amount involved for this long term treatment is significant.

For almost forty years, Ms Goulter has taught & coached thousands of students at Orewa College. If you know her as a friend, masters athlete competitor, remember her as a colleague or teacher of you, or your loved one, & you would like to contribute, every little bit will be highly appreciated. Anne has positively impacted so many lives & we hope the community that she has nurtured over the years can now provide support for her in her time of need on this difficult journey.
