Steno family cancer support fund

$18,240 donated
Given by 139 generous donors in around 7 months

My brother Mike "Steno" Steenson has been diagnosed with incurable cancer & this fund is to provide support for his family (Steno family).

Auckland

My brother Mike "Steno" Steenson has been diagnosed with incurable cancer and tragically now only has a limited amount of time left with his family and friends. He will be going through chemo treatment in attempt to "buy more time". Obviously his family, who we all know affectionately as the Steno family, are devastated. As we don't know how the chemo treatment will go, every day is now precious to them. I've set up this page for friends and family who would like to provide support and send messages to the family. Instead of sending cards or flowers just donate a couple of dollars and leave your message of support. The money will only be used for family outings and anything left over will go towards keeping the boys in bikes and helmets etc. once they are down to one income in the future.

Debbie Steenson's involvement (page creator)

Mike's my bro and I want nothing more in the world than for him and his wonderful family, to be able to create some amazing memories and enjoy quality, fun family time.

There are so many people asking how they can help; sending flowers, food hampers, all sorts of items. What I think they really need is some funding to be able to organise family days out, maybe a wee holiday; anything they can do to create wonderful, lasting memories.

I feel so helpless in this situation and thought if I could set up a fund for them and spread the word around a bit, then hopefully I can then help them organise some family adventures.

Thank you from The Stenos  22 October 2015

Hiya from Paula, Ryan and Kieran. We just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your love and support over the last 5 months.

We are eternally grateful. We truly love and appreciate every single one of you.

This profile photo is us at Mike's sisters wedding on Saturday 10 October. I had Mike's best man tie made into a corsage. We kept our pinky promise to Mike and made his sister smile on her big day.

Big love from

The Stenos

So sorry to hear of Steno's illness and passing. I am deeply saddened by the news and my sympathies go out to Paula, the boys and to the wider family. A good man gone way too soon.
