An Auckland mum and dad are fighting to stay alive for their sons, NZ Herald reports, after they were both struck down by terminal lung cancer. The cause of their cancer remains a mystery, with neither parents smoking and both living a healthy lifestyle. Their two sons, aged 9 and 11, are now facing the possibility of losing both parents. Friends have launched a Givealittle appeal to help the pair, who face crippling bills. Graham and Mery Brooke-Smith hope to “at least to see our boys grow a bit older”.
