Murray's Story

I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer at age 37 in March 2011.

I lead a healthy and active life and had very few symptoms prior to diagnosis.

I was in Peru on the Steel Horse Tour from Canada to Argentina, 15 countries, 30,000kms when I discovered I had an advanced illness that current conventional medical treatment cannot cure.

The Murray McNab Healing Foundation registered charity is raising funds to enable me to undertake specialist treatment in China. The target is $120,000. This money is necessary to pay for 3 months of intensive SPDT treatment in China which is not currently available in Australia.

Your help is greatly appreciated.......
