Support Eric in navigating the rough seas of cancer treatment. Every bit helps!

$6,755 donated
Given by 40 generous donors in 3 days

Our Givealittle page for Eric is a heartfelt fundraising effort to support him through his cancer treatments and help give him more time.

Grey Lynn, Auckland

As many of you know, our dear friend Eric has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Bowel Cancer. The cancer has spread to his lungs, lymphatic, and vascular systems, making it untreatable by surgery. However, there is still hope. The best option to give Eric more precious time with his family is an unfunded drug called Avastin, which can complement his current chemotherapy treatment. Unfortunately, the cost of this treatment is significant and not covered by public healthcare.

We are setting up this Givealittle page to raise funds that will go directly towards Eric's targeted cancer treatments. By helping to cover these medical expenses, we can reduce the overwhelming financial strain and allow Eric to focus on what truly matters—spending quality time with his loved ones, especially his son Flynn. Every donation, no matter the size, will go a long way in easing the pressure on Eric and his family during this incredibly challenging time.

Should there be any remaining funds after Eric’s treatment needs are met, these will go towards supporting Flynn’s future. We appreciate every bit of love, support, and generosity from those who are able to help. Thank you for being part of Eric’s crew as he navigates these rough seas. Let’s rally together and give Eric the chance to make more memories with his family.
