Tricias Transplant Trip

Christchurch, Canterbury

My gorgeous wife Tricia was diagnosed with PPMS (Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis)in 2011, and we have been living an awesome life together, Tricia doing an amazing job being the best mother to our gorgeous 3 boys (young men now) and continues to be the best wife a man could ever wish to be blessed with.

She has never allowed her illness to define her, never (seldom...) complaining, rather pushed herself more and more to continue to live, whatever 'normal' means, adjusting as her illness continued to chip away.

Her disease has progressed to the stage where her only option left, is to have HSCT (haematopoietic stem cell transplantation) a procedure that aims to reset the faulty immune system to stop this happening, a chance, to halt her progression.

This procedure involves pre tests, flights, 4 weeks undergoing the procedure and process in Mexico, then returning home to continue her recovery journey.

The cost for this is between $120-130,000.

After much prayers, tears and contemplating, we know this is our journey, we are embarking on the 20th Sept 2024.

If you feel you would like to contribute toward this for Tricia, every cent will be very, very gratefully received. 🙏

Use of funds

All funds will go toward the procedure and related travel required
