Will Hamilton is one of the best humans you will ever meet. He is always doing things for others, even when he has a lot going on himself, and he is the last person to ask for help for himself.

Will works as a Police Sergeant, and he has dedicated his life to serving the public. A few years ago he was involved in a terrifying and traumatic situation whereby he narrowly escaped the loss of his own life. For his brave actions he received a Commissioner's Commendation for showing professionalism and courage when confronted by an armed offender.

Will was recently diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma (blood cancer) after a routine check up revealed abnormal blood results He is undergoing chemotherapy treatment, which includes an oral medication called Lenalidomide. This medication is not funded by the government at this stage of Will's treatment and the cost is approximately $1,000.00 per month.

Will is making frequent trips to Thames to see specialists there and receive treatment. This also necessitates him taking time off work in order to make this happen.

Will has an amazing partner Amber and they have a gorgeous son Jack. Amber and Jack mean the absolute world to Will and he wants to spend as much time as possible with his lovely family.

It is time for us all to extend the same kindness to Will and Amber that they so readily extend to others. Please give generously if you are able. Every bit truly helps.

We are absolutely blindsided by the generosity of mostly complete strangers to us!

Monday gone, we had a private Hematologist consult in Tauranga, while not cheap it was beneficial. The whole point in that consult is to access Daratumumab which we have been advocating for so hard and which, because of everyone’s generosity, we will be able to access. The quote send a few days ago for 12 months treatment is $156,000. Intervention with Daratumumab is coming soon in terms of my next treatment step.

We are now looking ahead to CAR-T cell therapy. Currently Shanghai has the best CAR-T out there. But not cheap at $350k!! Eye watering regardless who you are! In the US, CAR-T is the frontline first treatment generally. Goes to show just how far behind we are!

Thank you, each and every one of you,

for your generosity and kindness. We are forever thankful
