Please help us wrap around this family and give Magnus the opportunity to be the big brother that he deserves to be.
Wellington
Magnus is a super happy, bubbly 3 year old that has just become a big brother with a life time of dreams ahead of him, when in October 2024, his family was delivered the devastating news that he has a 9cm neuroblastoma growing from his right kidney area which has spread to other areas of his body.
This amazing family are now navigating the fact that their toddler has stage four neuroblastoma which is an aggressive and rare form of childhood cancer, 38% survival rate. After the latest scans, his prognosis for survival has dropped.
Treatments here in NZ include, intensive chemo, radiation therapy, stem cell transplants, surgery and immuno therapy. Generally all these treatments can have severe and long lasting side effects which can include hearing or vision loss, organ damage, or developing secondary cancers or leukemia at any time.
Magnus and his family want to be able to explore new treatment options from overseas, additional to treatment available in New Zealand, so he will have a better chance at survival and recovery. They also need to manage the day to day that brings additional costs due to his disease and they want to be able to buy products for Magnus that will enhance his comfort and recovery.
Please help us wrap around this family and give Magnus the opportunity to grow up to be the big brother that he deserves to be.
We are the Childspace community that surround Magnus and his whānau.
