    Firstly, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported Tyson and our whānau over the past month. To everyone who has attended or organised fundraisers, donated, shared our posts, sent messages, and kept Tyson in your prayers. Your generosity, aroha, and kindness have meant more than words can express.

    Your support has helped ease some of the financial pressure while Tyson's whānau have been away from mahi, allowing them to focus on what matters most - being by Tyson's side throughout his treatment journey.

    Over the past several weeks, Tyson has been travelling to Auckland regularly for ongoing appointments and treatment. In the next couple of weeks, he will begin the next stage of his journey as he, Sarah, Asher, and Isla-Rose relocate to Auckland full-time for the duration of his radiation treatment.

    Tyson will undergo radiation therapy every day. This is a significant step in his treatment, and while it brings new challenges, our whānau remain hopeful and grateful for the incredible care and support surrounding him.

    Please continue to keep Tyson, Sarah, Asher, and Isla-Rose in your thoughts and prayers as they begin this next chapter. Every message, donation, share, and prayer reminds them they are not walking this journey alone.

    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for continuing to stand beside our whānau and wrap Tyson in so much aroha ❤️

  • An Update on Tyson's Journey

      9 June 2026

    After receiving Tyson's biopsy results, we have been told that his brain tumour is cancerous. While this is incredibly difficult news for our whānau, we are grateful to finally have some answers. There are still many unanswered questions, and we will learn more about what this means for Tyson's treatment and journey in the coming days and weeks.

    We want to thank every single person who has reached out, prayed, donated, shared our posts, and wrapped our whānau in aroha. The support from whānau, friends, and wider community has meant more than words can express and continues to give us strength during this challenging time.

    Please continue to keep Tyson, Sarah, Asher, and Isla-Rose in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate the road ahead together.

    For those who have asked how they can help, contributions to Tyson's Givealittle page are still greatly appreciated and will help support the whānau as they remain by his side throughout his treatment journey.

    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for walking alongside us and holding our boy in your prayers ♥️

    Whānau Update ❤️

    Tyson recently underwent brain surgery to help doctors better understand his tumour. The surgery went well, and he is now beginning his recovery.

    There are still many questions to be answered, and we are awaiting further results to understand more about the tumour and what comes next.

    Thank you for all the aroha, prayers, messages, and support. It means so much to our whānau during this time.
