Every day, 77 New Zealanders hear the words no one wants to hear: “You have cancer.”
That’s over 28,000 new cancer diagnoses each year—a number expected to double by 2040.
By joining our Signature monthly giving programme, you become part of a compassionate community standing with every person affected by cancer. Your regular gift provides stability, allowing us to plan ahead and be there the moment someone needs us—with care, comfort, and hope.
Your generosity also fuels life-saving cancer research, helping to protect future generations.
Together, we’re making sure no one faces cancer alone—and fighting for a cure.
Just in the last year our donors have made this free support possible:
What Your Monthly Gift Makes Possible
As a monthly Signature donor, you’re giving families facing cancer the free, wrap-around care they need – expert nursing support, counselling, transport, and a welcoming place to stay near crucial treatment. You’re also driving life-saving research in New Zealand for better treatments and breakthroughs.
Behind every service is a story. A husband gently holding his wife’s hand through chemo. A volunteer patiently waiting to drive a young dad home after his daily radiation treatment. A researcher working late, unlocking the next discovery.
And behind every story is someone like you—making it all possible.
To understand the true power of your support, meet Paige.
At just 26, Paige was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Her first question was whether she could freeze her eggs. The answer was no.
“They told me I’d never live long enough to be a parent.” – Paige
Since then, Paige has faced intense treatment, the loss of movement in half her body, and unimaginable grief—not just for herself, but for her family.
But Paige hasn’t faced this alone. Thanks to donors like you, she’s had:
- Volunteer drivers to get her to treatment
- Expert nursing care during her most vulnerable days
- Emotional support for her mum, Rachel, who says: “The Cancer Society has been incredible. They’ve helped in ways we didn’t even know we needed.” – Rachel
“The hardest part is seeing what it’s doing to my family. I can feel it breaking their hearts.” – Paige
Be There for the Next Paige
We can’t change Paige’s diagnosis.
But we can change what comes after.
Your monthly gift ensures that every New Zealander facing cancer has someone by their side—offering care, comfort, and hope when it matters most.
