We are the Reale family, and we’re coming together to ask for help for someone we love deeply — our brother, Derek.

Derek has been fighting metastatic melanoma, an aggressive cancer that has now spread to his lungs. He has gone through every treatment available to him through the NHS — immunotherapy, targeted therapies. Recently, we received the devastating news that there are no further treatment options left for him in the UK.

As a family, hearing this has been heartbreaking. But we are not ready to accept that this is the end of the road for Derek.

A New Chance: TIL Immunotherapy at Sheba Medical Centre.

There is one final option — a treatment called TIL (Tumour Infiltrating Lymphocyte) immunotherapy, available at Sheba Medical Centre in Israel, one of the world’s leading cancer hospitals.

TIL therapy has shown real promise for patients who have exhausted standard treatments. Derek has been assessed as a candidate, meaning he has a genuine chance to benefit from it.

This treatment offers something we haven’t had in a long time: hope.

Why We’re Asking for Help

The cost of treatment, travel, accommodation, and medical support is far beyond what our family can manage alone. We are doing everything we can, but we cannot reach this goal without support.

Your contribution will help cover:

• TIL immunotherapy at Sheba

• Pre treatment scans and assessments

• Travel and accommodation for Derek and a family member

• Post treatment monitoring and follow up care

Who Derek Is to Us

Derek is a husband, a father, a brother, an uncle, and a friend to many. He is kind, gentle, and has faced every stage of this illness with courage. He deserves the chance to keep fighting — and we want more time with him.

How You Can Help

• Donate if you’re able

• Share this fundraiser with others

• Keep Derek in your thoughts

Your support gives Derek a chance at life saving treatment and gives our family hope when we need it most.

From our entire family — thank you for reading, thank you for caring, and thank you for standing with us.
