Help Emma & George fight their biggest fight yet, with funding needed to support urgent life extending cancer treatment offshore.
The idea of mortality is a strange thing to process at 30. Unimaginable for most, but something our sister Emma Holden had to confront in 2019.
For over 5 years, Emma has been privately battling an incurable blood cancer; Multiple Myeloma. Most wouldn’t know she has this, despite countless treatments & setbacks, she doesn’t complain & refuses to be defined by cancer. She just gets on & does it.
THE URGENCY
Emma is in Dunedin Hospital undergoing intensive chemotherapy to buy more time for the medical team to navigate the steps offshore treatment. Hence the urgency around your support.
EMMA'S JOURNEY
Emma sits in the 1% of myeloma patients being diagnosed so young at 30. This was particularly devastating as we also lost our Dad, Tom to cancer at age 46.
She has undergone continuous treatment travelling between various hospitals; Melbourne, Auckland, Christchurch & Dunedin
