Please help Pita Sekilagi as secondary Cancer strikes this rising star.
Pita Sekilagi has been diagnosed with secondary Cancer, we need to help as much as we can to get the treatment and care he needs.
Canterbury
Pita Sekilagi a newly married 26 year old star was over playing Rugby and working in Christchurch and has been knocking on the door of rugby stardom, not only the fastest Fijian in the region but someone who is loved by everyone and his gentle and kind nature brings a smile to all.
He was recently diagnosed with cancer which has aggressively spread into its second stage, not being eligible for treatment in New Zealand has led to us abruptly taking him home to his native Fiji for treatment. Ideally he should be treated immediately in New Zealand but circumstances beyond our control have led to his current situation.
Health care in Fiji is primitive and we have learned that the Chemotherapy will take 2 weeks to arrive, meaning he will be three weeks behind where he should be for his treatment and leaving a cloud over his survival.
Basic living costs in Fiji are expensive as I learned when I accompanied him and his wife home to their small village in Lautoka. Travel and immediate costs have been covered by the Fahey Family but to continue the support for him, his care and for any quality of life during this period, we need your help!!!

Use of funds
The money will be used to provide financial support for Pita's treatment and care. Pita will need help with living expenses and transport while he fights the battle of his life and undergoes chemotherapy

Rugby Star Still Critically Ill 4 April 2018
Pita who is now back in his native Fiji, finally received treatment after a 2 month wait. Although in his second cycle of Chemotherapy the delay in getting the medicine meant valuable time was lost and has left him in a critical condition. Not being able to work has been hard for him and his immediate family and his proximity to the hospital has lead to extra challenges.
We hope to ease this ongoing burden by raising more funds through some upcoming fundraisers.
