Support Baydon through his journey to recovery.
Nelson / Tasman
For those of you who don't already know, last week our family found out that Baydon has unfortunately been diagnosed with cancer. For those of you don't know Baydon he was born with a condition called Cystic Fibrosis also known as CF. CF affects a number of organs in the body (especially the lungs and pancreas) by clogging them with thick, sticky mucus. This can cause shortness of breath, a chronic cough and repeated chest infections. If the blockages affect the pancreas this will reduce or stop enzymes from being released to digest food, causing problems with poor weight gain and malnutrition due to malabsorption.
At present there is no cure for CF.
Baydons condition will make treating his cancer very difficult and a long journey to recovery, he will need to under go treatment for his Cystic Fibrosis first to make sure his lungs are in the best condition they can be before beginning treatment for his cancer. Baydon will begin treatment early next week and also begin his journey to recovery.
Baydon will have to stay in Christchurch throughout his journey and as most of you know we're all based here in Nelson. Marnie and Kelvin, Baydons parents would love to be with him the entire time but due to expenses this won't be possible, therefore any donations would be more appreciated than you could ever imagine. Please support Baydon and our amazing family!
You're a soldier Baydon!
Baydon is my brother is law, he's my partners big brother and we love him to bits. We're trying to do anything we can to support our family.
All money donated will go towards helping Baydon cover expenses during his time in Christchurch and also towards covering the expenses involved in allowing Marnie and Kelvin to be with their son during this time.
