Help Jackson kick cancers butt!!

Donation protected

I have Colon cancer. (adenocarcinoma)



Through no fault of my own or anything I’ve done, I’ve been at athletic level fitness for my whole life. Always eaten a balanced diet and ran, weight trained every day also swimming 2km per week


I am currently still am training an average of 2hrs per day and continuing to prepare myself for Forster Tuncurry triathlon (I wanted to keep that secret)

Turns out it was never a hemroid like the doctors kept trying to convince me and only discovered through my own persistence to get a colonoscopy

The doctors failed me.



The cancer seems to be localised in one spot and not metastatic.

Both an MRI and CT scan have shown no spreading of the cancer.

Unfortunately I have to get a “chemotherapy port” in on Tuesday which will stay on my chest while I receive chemotherapy.


Then if all goes well I will have surgery to remove it.

If this has taught me anything it’s that I’m not immune and as much as I look and act like a god I seem to bleed like a human.


I am far too stubborn and stupid to let this beat me and like my usual self, when shit gets tough I plant my back foot down and fight hard, I can take the hits and there isn’t much this cancer can do to me that I haven’t already dealt with.


So even though I know I can beat this horrible illness I’m going to need financial help to get by, being a business owner and not being able to work will be one of the biggest test of my life, so if you can give I would be internally grateful no matter the value.


Thanks for all the well wishes and love, now let’s kick the shit out of cancer!!!
