Do you remember Roland Matthews goes to Moscow for Multiple Sclerosis treatment? Come with me to China for my neural stem cell treatment.
Christchurch, Canterbury
Before MS took hold, I was very active in a wide range of adrenaline-orientated pursuits: surfing, skiing, mountain bike riding, windsurfing, and anything else thrown in my direction.
By the time of my HSCT, I was extremely sick and disabled, unknown to my foggy mind, laying my coffin. I had tripped on the disease and plunged headfirst down Harwoods Hole, with winning odds of never surfacing.
After the HSCT, my mind quickly climbed out of the hole using my donors’ ropes, but my sluggish body was suffering from extensive neurological damage and was stuck under an overhang. I have been working hard on clambering onto the ledge for the last four years and have an idea of how far I will go without further treatment. It is not that far along the ledge if I make it, and I want to go further. Neural stem cells are currently the best available option to improve the 'Quality of my Life' and steer me towards the ‘good old days’. I hope to splash in the surf and buy something I can paddle with on my return to my much-loved ocean. In the interim, I’ll ride my peddle-assisted downhill e-trike (an exhilaration in my life).
After returning to NZ, I published a book on Amazon to tell people my story. It is called 'HSCT for MS'.
This Givealittle request is to help me on this journey with treatment and rehabilitation.
My goal is to receive treatment at Wu Medical Centre in Beijing http://wumedicalcenter.com/
Thank you for your attention to my campaign to improve the Quality of my Life and further MS treatment knowledge for everybody. Wu Medical has successfully treated people with neural stem cells using new Western, millennia-old and modern Chinese medicines for over 18 years. My global searches have found no readily available, well-developed therapies outside Wu's extensive therapy.
Check out my previous Givealittle pages here: https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/rolandsms and https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/roland-matthews-is-moving-on
Funds will be used for the trip over to Beijing, the treatment there and everything needed on the trip for myself and a support person.
Good news 7 March 2024
Hello everybody, thank you to my donors for your generous contributions towards my trip for treatment in China. My campaign is now gaining momentum. I have great news. My uncle will do his best to fill the gap between donations and treatment costs. He will donate $2 for every dollar I receive through Givealittle. Accordingly, a total of $13333 will see me on a plane to China. Every dollar counts, so please spread the word about my campaign. Thanks, Roland.
