Raising support money to help the family, whilst Mike fights for his life.

Taupo, Waikato

Friday 1st July Mike was diagnosed with Leukemia, this was a massive shock to Mike and Donna. Mike was immediately transferred to Waikato hospital to undergo multiple tests and start chemotherapy. We are unsure of how long the journey ahead is but we know it's going to be a long road.

Mike is an amazing husband to Donna and Dad to Mason. This is going to be especially difficult for him and Donna as it means a long time away from Mason, who is being lovingly cared for by extended family and friends. Mike is a great son to Joanne & Peter and brother to Tim and Paula. Mike has the biggest heart and would do anything to help anyone in need. You may know Mike as "Magic Mike" where he is a proud real estate agent for Harcourts Taupo, a Bar manager at Jolly Good Fellows and the Conductor of Taupo Brass Band which he restarted 3 years ago on arriving in Taupo.

Now is our time to get behind him and help this beautiful family get through this tough time! Please give generously and help this legend with a donation no matter how large or small. Any financial support makes a difference. Mike has been overwhelmed by the community outpouring of love and support so far. We can guarantee you that Mike, Donna and Mason will be eternally grateful. If you cannot contribute financially, we would love it if you could please share this page in the hope it reaches those that are able.

Use of funds

As we are all unsure of how long they will be away from their normal day to day life the money will be used to lift the financial stress of bills, necessities and help with their son Mason.
