About this episode

The episode features Michael Walters, a young man battling cancer, discussing his journey and the fundraising efforts to support his treatment.

Geddit Geddit Friday Shift Nation today's show is going to be a bit different... Earlier on in the week during our Speights Men's Den, Brook brought to the show a story of Michael Walters 'Mikey', a 24 year old Auckland man who has battling Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (PMBCL – Primary Mediastinal Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma) since March 2025... Now, there IS a treatment that will give Mikey the highest chance at beating this, although it is not funded or in Aotearoa meaning he is going to have to travel to receive this treatment, which wont' be cheap... Mikey needs to raise a minimum of $500k to receive the full treatment procedure, currently he has raised over $300k meaning there is still a remaining $200k left to fundraise... We have Mikey on the show today to bring us into his world, what the journey and battle has been and how he continues to hold onto the hope when all else seems to be failing... Listen till the end as we tell Mikey how we are going to play our part in helping get Mikey the $200k that he needs! Shift Nation, let's help get Mikey the treatment he needs and deeply deserves...
