Tautoko our mana wahine sister as she fights leukaemia
24 year old Toihi Mahuika-Wright is currently fighting leukaemia
Christchurch, Canterbury
During the late hours of Friday 17th February 2023, Toihi was admitted into Christchurch Emergency Department. After numerous tests over the coming days, doctors had confirmed a diagnoses of Acute Leukaemia.
Surreal news that a 24 year old could ever imagine to receive, but if you know her - she is as stubborn as ever and is determined to fight this not only for herself, but for her 5 year old daughter - Kiara who has been our sunshine throughout this journey.
After completing her first round of intensive chemotherapy, she is unable to fight off infections where she is currently in ICU fighting. She is a remarkable woman who is progressing daily.
