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.
I am an old mate of Alex and close family friend.
Your generous donation can make a world of difference, providing the financial support they vitally require to access life-saving treatment and cover the expenses of relocation and medical care abroad.
From healing to here! 30 July 2025
Hopefully, our last update for a while – Alex is on the up! He’s all-in on recovery: training, resting, eating well, and embracing every tool he can (yes, including saunas and hyperbaric chambers!). As a family, we’re soaking up the now and saying YES to life wherever we can.
We want to say thank you – properly. So, two ways to celebrate and connect:
