Your support at this Pink Breakfast is ultimately buying one of the most precious things in life "TIME" for Kelleigh and her family
Auckland
Please help us raise money to buy more time for Kelleigh to spend with her family. She is a loving wife to Craig and mother to three energetic, creative, fun-loving girls; Paige (13), Holly (10) and Charli (9).
Kelleigh has Stage 4, incurable breast cancer and she has exhausted all publicly-funded cancer treatment options in NZ. The drug that gives her more time, and allows her to stay in NZ to be with her family, is Ibrance. This drug is not currently funded in NZ, so Kelleigh's family is having to pay $5,865 per month to extend her life. This is obviously a huge financial strain for a young family, which will continue for the remainder of Kelleigh's life.
Kelleigh has had multiple surgeries and chemotherapy treatments, full-brain radiation, and countless blood transfusions. She spent three years travelling to and from Australia to participate in a clinical trial which was successful, until the cancer recently returned in her liver, and she was removed from the trial.
Kelleigh is the most positive, resilient and inspiring person that we know. She will keep fighting this disease so that she can actively raise her daughters and guide them to be kind, caring and empathetic young women, just like their mother.
Kelleigh and her family moved from Christchurch to Auckland three years ago. With us living in Christchurch, we feel unable to support Kelleigh on a day-to-day basis, so creating this Givealittle page is a way for us to raise much-needed funds for her fight against cancer.
Please generously support Kelleigh, to help take the financial burden away, and allow her to live a simple life; creating precious memories with her family.
Funds will be used to pay for the ongoing $5865 monthly cost of Ibrance. If this treatment is ineffective, funds will be used for other treatment options available in Australia.
I want to help out because Kelleigh is a mum like me with three beautiful girls who go to the same school as my children.She is a cause that hits close to home in every sense :-)
