We are raising money for Peter Troake and his cancer treatment and possible international treatment and flying medical teams over for help.

Auckland

As friends and extended family of the Troakes, we are trying to raise money for Peter. In April, Peter was diagnosed with an osteosarcoma which was found on his left ribs. After a round of chemotherapy we were told the chemotherapy wasn't working and that the cancer had spread. Peter is a 17 year old boy, at Kristin School in Albany, who is currently having treatment in Starship Hospital. Peter is fully involved in sport playing both golf and basketball. We are now moving onto our second option of treatment. We are also seeking possible alternative treatment internationally, however, because of the cancer on his lungs, it is dangerous for him to fly and therefore, we may possibly need to bring medical teams and treatments here. Any small donation can help in the bigger picture and we are extremely appreciative for all your support and love.

My thoughts are with you Victoria. I also have a 17 year old son and can't imagine what you and your family are dealing with. I really wish your gorgeous boy the promising and successful future he deserves.
