Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ - Breaking barriers, saving lives

Written By Kim Manunui

Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ (PCFNZ) exists to ensure no one has to face prostate cancer alone—and that every person can navigate their journey with knowledge, confidence and dignity.

Every week, 84 Kiwi men hear the words no one is ever prepared for: “you have prostate cancer”. Behind every diagnosis is a person, a partner, a family, a future suddenly filled with uncertainty.

 With your support, PCFNZ is there to walk alongside them. Providing trusted information, practical support , and connection with others who understand the journey.

Across Aotearoa New Zealand, PCFNZ’s wrap-around services help people manage treatment side effects, rebuild strength, and feel supported every step of the way.

None of this is government funded. Every call answered, every counselling session delivered, and every support programme offered is only possible because people choose to give.

Your donation helps provide:

  • a nurse-led freephone information service

  • 24/7 counselling

  • peer support networks

  • patient grants

  • tailored exercise programmes like Prost-FIT

  • home-based support through the Prostate Cancer Patient Empowerment Programme

Doug and Margaret know first-hand how that support matters. After Doug was diagnosed, PCFNZ connected him with others who truly understood what he was going through. That support meant he didn’t have to face it alone – and neither did Margaret.

“It was like being smacked between the eyes… you don’t expect it. One moment everything is normal, the next you’re told you have cancer. When life is suddenly thrown off course, support like this can change what happens next. It gives people somewhere to turn and helps make the road ahead more manageable.”

Today, Doug and Margaret support others through PCFNZ’s Rodney (Auckland) support group, helping people navigate some of life’s toughest moments. This support is only possible because people like you choose to give.

Every kilometre you ride — and every dollar you give — helps ensure no one faces prostate cancer alone.

Support PCFNZ today and help provide care, connection and hope when it’s needed most.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
