You might remember the story of Dave and Liz Evans - who found out Dave was terminally ill just months after moving to New Zealand.
The pair said they had a "terrible" work-life balance back in the UK, and moved to New Zealand for the Kiwi lifestyle and the beaches.
But Dave, 44, was diagnosed with terminal cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) in February, soon after the move.
The couple's story has prompted an outpouring of support.
A Stuff reader let them stay at his beachside home in Tairua, meals are cooked for them by members of the Residents of Flagstaff Facebook group, a neighbour goes for daily walks with Dave, and another drove to Auckland Airport to pick up Dave's parents.
