Please help amazing Mum, Wife and Friend Rebecca O'Sullivan fight Breast Cancer
Hoping to raise $66k to access a vital and medically recommended drug that is not pharmac funded or covered by insurance.
Auckland
Recently Rebecca O’Sullivan (Becs), her husband Simon and her two children received the earth shattering news that she has Breast Cancer. This has been exacerbated further being in an Alert Level 4 lockdown for COVID-19 and, while family and friends are supporting remotely we would love to do so much more!
Becs is now undergoing chemotherapy and in addition, has been strongly recommended to undertake immunotherapy treatment. The immunotherapy drug, Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) costs $66k and is not pharmac funded or covered by insurance. Reluctantly Becs and Simon have allowed us to set up this page with the goal of covering the cost of the immunotherapy treatment and ensuring that the physical and emotional pain currently being felt by Becs and her wonderful family is not coupled with financial pressure.
So to Becs and Simon’s amazing network of friends, and even if you don’t know Becs but would like to contribute, let’s support this beautiful family to help them through this challenging time.
