Help My Twin Brother David Access Life-Saving Immunotherapy

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Mark, and I’m fundraising for my twin/triplet brother, David Paxton.

Not many people know we were triplets when we were born in 1986. We lost our brother Ross very early. Dave and myself have been inseparable ever since. 

David who is 38 years old, has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Duodenum which has spread to the liver—an incredibly rare and aggressive cancer. There have only been 22 recorded cases worldwide, which means treatment options are extremely limited.

David is more than just a patient—he’s a devoted father to his 9-year-old son, and they share a bond that’s beautiful to witness. All David wants is the chance to watch his boy grow up—to be there for birthdays, football matches, school plays, and all the moments that matter.

The only option giving us hope right now is the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumad as this has been proven to work on this cancer in other locations, and in some circumstances full results, but tragically, David’s insurance will not cover the cost of the drugs because it has not been proven in this extremely rare location. We’re now fighting not just the cancer, but the clock. These drugs are his best chance at more time with his 9 year old son Stanley, and with all of us.

What We’re Asking For

We are trying to raise £184,128.00—100% of which will give us access to the immunotherapy drugs David urgently needs.

Without this treatment, we don’t have many options left.

‍ Why This Matters

As his twin/triplet, I’ve never felt so helpless. But I believe in people, and I believe in community. If you’re reading this, you could help change the course of his life.
