Wilderness mag’s roving editor Shaun Barnett is facing a tough battle after being diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour earlier this year.
The long-term outlook is fragile and Shaun is the last person to ask for help, but friends of his have set up a Givealittle page to help raise funds for treatments that are not publically funded here.
Shaun has written and co-written several award-winning books about New Zealand’s backcountry and is determined to finish his memoir about his life in nature, called ‘Wild Notes’. He’s part-way through but there’s a lot more writing to do.
