Support Catherine Cooke to beat triple negative breast cancer (TNBC); a woman who gives so much to so many

Catherine is a larger than life passionate and loving mum of 2, wife, friend and talented business woman. She has dedicated decades in her work to helping and coaching many and also driving and supporting causes such as Dress for Success and raising funds for the victims of the Muriwai storm in Feb 2023

She was my neighbour for nearly a decade and has been a friend for 15 years

On the 20th of November 2024 after already having other serious health battles and surgeries, also amidst enduring the heartbreaking loss of several close family members, we were shocked that a routine mammogram turned her world upside down with a diagnosis of aggressive triple-negative breast cancer. Catherine is now entering a new and daunting battle, requiring vital unfunded Keytruda treatment (which is incidentally fully funded for all stages of TNBC & primary cancers in Australia and all around the world.. but not New Zealand unless it is advanced / uncontained cancer!) to give her a chance to fight this aggressive cancer type bravely she has been diagnosed with.I am a midwife, mum and businesswoman and together with her daughter Holly (who serves our country in the military), we have set up this Givealittle page to assist Catherine during this challenging time to be able to afford the necessary immunotherapy treatments she needs to survive and for her family to care for her

Thank you for your kindness and generosity your support will make a huge difference to Catherine and her family
