Thursday March 23 2023 3 Brummie Dan’s fight to beat cancer • From page 1 However, using the funds raised, the family is trying to get as much equipment as they can to help Morbey’s treatment. “Overseas they have cancer treatment centres, and we are trying to create one in our home, so we are buying things like infrared sauna blankets, red light therapy and ozone therapy,” Morbey said. The equipment needed can cost thousands of dollars. For example, for an infrared sauna blanket, which can relieve stress, help with joint pain, lower blood pressure and improve circulation, prices can range anywhere from a few hundred to thousands of dollars. “We have to make radical changes and can’t just hope,” Noble said. So far, they have used about $20,000 of the $24,000 raised to cover extra tests and treatments that are not funded and to pay for a trip for them to return to the UK for Morbey to see his family in May. Morbey was just about to get his food truck business off the ground, which he had been struggling with for three years with ongoing Covid restrictions. He had also set up a food truck market in Rolleston, which was tracking well. Both were expected to take off in summer, but never had the opportunity. “My career as a food truck vendor never really got a chance,” he said. Morbey, originally from Birmingham in the United Kingdom, met Noble when she was on her OE and decided to follow her back to New Zealand in 2017, moving around the country and eventually settling in Rolleston as renters at the end of 2021. Noble has also had to give up her job to become a full-time carer for Morbey as his condition worsens, and to look after the kids. “Up until six weeks ago I was able to help out around the house and do the cleaning and groceries, but now I’m just too tired,” Morbey said. “It can be mentally challenging for me not to be able to play with my kids. “I also have to watch out when they get sick to make sure they don’t pass it on, a cold he (Dylan) brought home put me on my arse for two weeks.” While the family is receiving some support, they feel that the system has failed with them having to battle for extra care. “When I injured my back, I got more support from ACC than I do now I have stage four cancer,” Morbey said. “I think it should be easier for people in my position that once you’re diagnosed it starts a process of support.” Said Noble: “It just adds stress.” The couple said they are incredibly grateful for all the support from the local community, such as dropping off meals or mowing lawns for free. “Every little bit helps make a difference,” Noble said. • To help the family you can donate to their Givealittle fund: Brummie Dan’s cancer support – Givealittle RAISING FUNDS: The family are using the Givealittle money to buy things like an infrared light panel (left) for red light therapy.
