My son is 4 years old and has Cystic Fibrosis. Help raise funds for a petition to get better access to medicines for him and many others.

Auckland

Hi, I'm Peter and my son is 4 years old and has Cystic Fibrosis. For him and all the other children that suffer from this, I want them to have access to medicine that's going to help them. I've spent $4000 on Facebook ads to raise awareness and seek signatures for the petition to double Pharmac's medicine budget so people like my son and many many others can get better access to life saving, changing and extending medicines. It's not that there is not enough money in New Zealand for this, it's that we choose to spend on things like free student fees ($300M/year) instead.

Will you help me? All money raised will go to efforts to increase signatures on the petition, to raise public awareness of it.

Please help, your support will change lives. See the petition here: https://bit.ly/2KXN2BH.

Use of funds

Raising awareness of the petition and getting more signatures. More signatures = more support for our children, whanau and loved ones.
