Hi Simone,

I hope this email finds you feeling well today.

I just wanted to send you a quick message to introduce myself as I'm a writer for Lucky Break magazine here in NZ and I've just read about your story on the Stuff news website. It sounds like you have been going through an incredibly difficult time!

I wanted to reach out in support as I'd love to share your story in our magazine and hopefully raise some awareness for you and funds in the process. Let me know if this is something you might be keen to do and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

Warm regards,

Ashley

Hi Ashley

Thanks for your message. I guess I don't look at this situation as going through a difficult time. It is just a little challenge that has swamped my life - I guess for the better. Really it is looking outside NZ and seeing what other people are doing around the world and alot of what I am doing now is routine treatment, but in NZ it is not offered, mentioned and most often told it is a load of rubbish! I have nothing to lose and I am so determined to be here as long as I can for my family! I would love to help. I am heading away to China on Friday this week but am sure I could probably liaise with you via email. I am mrs.gee@xtra.co.nz This of course has sparked a wee bit of a rebuff from the medical world, but ultimately may produce the results I need and get the appropriate treatment funded.

Regards Simone Greig :)
