Let's send Bill & Glenda on a special holiday together.
Hawke's Bay
Bill (74) and Glenda (76) are a super, quality, genuine couple who have been married for 26 years. Every year since 1992, Bill and Glenda have saved up every cent that they could get their hands on so that they could do their yearly mission trip over into Eastern countries. This has been a great passion for them both, despite Glenda being hard of hearing and Bill with a leg which gives him a lot of pain due to a past injury. They have been so determined to make this happen each year and have made some close friends overseas.
Bill has just recently made the decision to quit his weekly job so that he and Glenda could slow down a bit and enjoy some time together. Unfortunately, just after Bill's decision Glenda received a terminal pancreatic cancer diagnosis and given 6-12 months.
While trying to deal with the shock that their time together maybe shorter than they expected, Glenda has made the wish that she would like a holiday with Bill and spend time with close family and friends.
Something Glenda has always wanted to do is a train trip down through New Zealand. Please donate to make this a reality for them. This holiday would mean the world to Bill and Glenda, as she fights not to give into this diagnosis.
Let's bless the socks off this amazing couple who have given so much over the years!

Part One of Trip Complete 23 March 2016
Hi everyone,
Bill and Glenda have been and enjoyed Part One of their trip together a few weeks ago. They began in Auckland and did a train trip down through the North Island ending up in Wellington. They loved it and are now looking forward to part two which will be a train trip through the South Island. This is something Glenda has really wanted to do, so it's so awesome seeing it happen for her!
Last weekend they made a trip to TAIHAPE together for the gumboot festival! Yes a feed at the gumboot cafe was in order!
