Kia Ora whānau and friends,

Please support our bro JR Hogan’s Battle Against Cancer.

As most will know, our mete, our bro JR received devastating news in December 2025 that she has been diagnosed with a very Rare & Aggressive Cancer – Metastatic Undifferentiated Spindel Cell Sarcoma Cancer & is now facing one of the biggest battles of her life.

Unfortunately, throughout her road to recovery, Chemotherapy hasn’t been successful, but there is still hope with an alternative treatment therapy however, the drug (Pembrolizumab) is non-funded through the public system & will cost approximately $90,000.

With your support, you can make a significant difference in JR’s fight against cancer. Every donation will help get her one step closer to recovery & ease the financial burden on her & her whanau so she can focus on what matters most; time healing and hope.

JR is a loving daughter, sister, bro, mete to many, who has been someone people turn to, always supporting others in times of need. Quietly showing up when others need help. She’s also well-known amongst her community for volunteering her time to help support local sporting clubs across the region mentoring & uplifting Tamariki, Rangatahi & Whanau.

Thank you for your kindness, love & support.

I've had the privilege of knowing JR through music connections. She has enriched my experience in the music scene and become a close mete. This page is for others who know her, providing a way for anyone who wishes to support her on this journey.

Use of funds

All funds raised will be used towards the cost of Pembrolizumab, a vital non-funded drug necessary for JR's cancer treatment. Your support is crucial in helping her access this essential medication. Thank you for your generosity!

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
