Devastating terminal brain tumour diagnosis for father with four young kids

New Plymouth, Taranaki

In early November Rikki was involved in a workplace accident that resulted in a concussion and time off work, through this period Rikki began to have seizures, lose balance, memory, and experience severe headaches. upon further investigation he was diagnosed with glioblastoma brainstem tumour, there is no cure for this and specialists country wide have been involved but is ultimately terminal and Rikki was given a prognosis of life expectancy been 8 to 11 months. this has completely devastated Rikki and his young children who are 10,9,6, and 4. due to this diagnosis Rikki is unable to work and is unable to get any assistance during the Christmas break period. funds raised are for Rikki to be able to attend nationwide appointments, seek treatment, and enable him to have the best time possible with his kids without undue financial stress.
