A campaign to help a Langley husband and wife who are both battling the same rare form of cancer has raised more than $60,000 toward a goal of $100,000.

Kristine Drombolis, a mother of three, has been caring for her husband, Shane, since he was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer in 2019.

On May 7, a friend posted an appeal on the GoFundMe website, a few days after Kristine was diagnosed with stage 4 of the very same type of cancer.
