They said it would take a miracle. Help Isobelle fight Stage 4 ovarian cancer and give our young family more time.

Northcote, Auckland

In September 2025, our lives changed overnight. My partner, Isobelle, was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer at just 42.

She completed 6 cycles of frontline chemotherapy in January 2026 and initially responded, giving us hope. But just one month later, follow-up scans showed progression again in her lymph nodes. The pain became severe, and she had to begin another round of chemotherapy.

We were gently told that at this stage, long-term outcomes are uncertain and that it may take a miracle to fully overcome this.

But we are not ready to stop fighting.

We are grateful to have health insurance covering most of her initial treatments. However, her chemotherapy cover is now running out while she is still actively in treatment. We are starting to face significant out-of-pocket costs just to continue her care.

I am currently the only one working, on a 24/7 roster. During times when I am at work and Isobelle is unwell, caring for Quinn becomes extremely difficult.

Funds raised will help us:

Top-up chemotherapy as insurance cover runs out

Access potential unfunded treatment options like Keytruda

Cover groceries and essential daily living costs

Hire a nanny to support childcare during treatment and work hours

Any support, no matter how small, will make a difference and would ease the pressure on our family.

We are simply fighting for more time,

more memories, more milestones, more ordinary days together.

Thank you for standing with us.

Isobelle is my life partner.

Use of funds

Funds raised will help cover essential groceries, daily living costs, and hire a nanny to fill the gaps when my work schedule and her pain collide. Funds will also go towards potential unfunded treatment in Australia (cryoablation), as well as potential unfunded treatment here (immunotherapy and/or Elahere). A page update will be posted once the treatment is confirmed.
