Shane Kicks Cancers Butt – Help support Shane & his family of four on this journey to beat Stage 4 Bowel Cancer.

Shane Chapman (27) is one of the best humans you will ever meet. Always there to help others with his kindness, understanding & generosity.

Shane was recently diagnosed with Bowel Cancer & underwent surgery late last year to remove a large section of lower intestine. The specialists thought the surgery had cured the cancer. However a routine MRI three months post surgery revealed the Bowel Cancer had spread through his blood to his liver. Devastatingly diagnosed with Stage 4 Bowel Cancer with metastases in his liver, odds of survival are 1 in 3. Shane has urgently started Chemotherapy treatment. This will be ongoing for the next three months, followed by surgery to remove three quarters of his liver & then more Chemotherapy. The specialists want Shane to receive additional treatment which will improve his chances of survival. However these additional medications are not funded by the government & at this stage the cost is upwards of $50,000.

He will be making frequent trips to Wellington, Hastings & Auckland to see specialists & receive treatment. This also necessitates him taking time off work to make this happen.

Shane has an amazing partner Sam & they have two gorgeous kids Rufus (3) & Cameron (1). Sam, Rufus & Cam mean the absolute world to Shane & he wants to spend as much time as possible with his family.

It's time for us all to extend the same kindness to Shane & Sam that they so readily extend to others. Please give generously if you are able. Every bit truly helps.
