Recently, our close friend Jack was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, turning his world — and ours — upside down. 

Since his diagnosis, Jack has faced this with incredible strength and determination. 

He’s doing everything he can to fight — exploring every possible option to give himself the best chance, including specialised treatment at the Williams Cancer Institute in the United States/Mexico.  

The treatment is called Intratumoural immunotherapy. Unfortunately, this treatment is not widely available in most countries including AUS & UK, which means accessing it requires travel overseas to specialised centres. Intratumoural immunotherapy is a targeted cancer treatment in which medicine is injected directly into the tumour - rather than delivered through the bloodstream. The goal is to focus treatment where it is needed most, stimulate a stronger immune response, and help the body recognise and fight cancer cells more effectively throughout the body. 

This treatment offers real hope — but it comes at a significant cost, with expenses expected to reach up to $400,000 AUD. 

We’re aiming to raise at-least $70,000 to help Jack access this treatment and ease the financial burden that comes with it. 

To support this, a few of us will be taking on the Bondi to Manly 80km Ultra Marathon in October. 

It’s a tough challenge — but it’s nothing compared to what Jack is facing every single day. 

Whether you know Jack personally or not, this is a chance to help someone who is fighting for more time, more memories, and more life. 

Every dollar raised will go directly towards: 

* Life-saving treatment in the US/Mexico 

* Travel and accommodation costs 

* Supporting Jack through this fight 

If you’re able to contribute — no matter how small — it will make a real difference. 

And if you can’t donate, sharing this page helps us reach someone who can.  

Let’s come together and give Jack the best possible chance.
