SUPPORT JASON’S BATTLE WITH BLOOD CANCER

I had hoped it wouldn’t come to this but my husband Jason is fighting for his life and can’t wait anymore. In 2020 he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, an incurable but treatable blood cancer.

Due to lack of funding NZ has fallen well behind in the treatment of blood cancers. Cancers with solid tumours can have surgery but blood cancer is totally dependent on medicines. As the cancer relapses a new drug combination needs to be introduced and NZ is very limited.

After 3 years of partial remission following his first treatment the cancer started to relapse and in Sep24 he began a new treatment. We had hoped this would buy some time to wait for other options but unfortunately the numbers didn’t fall far enough and now the cancer numbers are climbing again and faster than before with no other options.

Car-T therapy is his best chance and it's not available without traveling overseas. This is a cutting edge treatment that re-engineers his own cells to destroy the cancer and can provide a complete remission for years while the world progresses with better options.

It's very expensive – as much as $380K plus travel costs. Please donate, every little bit helps, no matter how small.

He has the best support team - his wife (me) and our children (Jemma, Holly & Ruby) and some incredible friends. He wants to be with and support them as long as he possibly can and we don't want to have to live without him.

Please help save a wonderful man, husband, father, photographer and friend to many.
