Katikati Folk Club is holding a special fundraising concert in aid of Kim Workman.

Kim is the daughter of Craig and Paulette Workman, whom many of you will know. They ran the Balcony Cafe and hosted the folk club there in its early years. Craig was a founding member of the club and was the pianist in the band Waterford, as well as being an outstanding and fearsome player at Homewood Tennis Club. 

 

Help Kim Fight Stage 4 Melanoma

Craig and Paulette’s daughter Kim has been diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma and urgently needs our help. 

Her doctors have recommended that the most effective therapy for her specific cancer type is the Ipilimumab and Nivolumab treatment protocol, which is not currently funded in New Zealand.

 

The Urgency

Treatment must begin immediately

Total cost is $60,000 for four complete treatment cycles

Every day matters in her fight against this aggressive cancer
