Support Alex's Cancer Treatment and help his family relocate to Canada with him.

$176,560 donated
Given by 907 generous donors in around 3 months

Support Alex's urgent cancer treatment and relocation to Canada with his wife and children.

Nationwide

Alex, a loving husband and father of three young children, was recently diagnosed with palliative cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive cancer. This news hit us all hard.

Alex makes a difference in the lives of those he meets through his professional work at Sport NZ and as an active member of the community he lives in, coaching young people. His energy, kindness, and generous spirit shine through in all that he does. Despite his positive mindset and determination, this disease has proven untreatable in its current state in NZ.

However, there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon - access to clinical trials and chemotherapy under the guidance of specialists in cancer treatment in Canada. His family's immediate relocation from New Zealand entails challenging financial burdens.

It is with heavy hearts we ask that you please consider donating today and to share this message with your networks.

Together, we can make a meaningful contribution in the lives of this remarkable family. Your generosity, no matter how big or small, will make a tangible difference, offering hope and healing to Alex and his family as they bravely confront unimaginable challenges.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and unwavering support for Alex, Marsha, Caleb, Billie, and Dylan in their time of need.

RSVP by August 22nd with numbers attending – space is limited! Email celebratingalex25@gmail.com

💬 Tune in for Alex’s reflections – Saturday 16 August, 11am NZT (Friday 15th in Canada). He’ll share insights from his cancer journey, previously shared with workmates and the Cancer Society. Link below – we’d love to see you there.
