Nick Auden, a Melbourne-born father of three, is in a heart breaking position. He has been told advanced melanoma will claim his life within months and that his only chance to live lies in two experimental drugs he cannot access.
In a race against time, Mr Auden’s family has launched a website called "Save Locky’s Dad", a video on YouTube and a petition on Change.Org to get two multibillion-dollar drug companies – Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb – to give him compassionate access to their new ‘‘anti PD-1’’ drugs.
Within two weeks, the petition has been signed by nearly 25,000 people and has reached comedians Ricky Gervais and Sarah Silverman, who have both shared it on social media.
