My Dad has cancer, together with my Mum they have always looked after people with needs and now it's our turn to give back.
Otago
Some of you may know already but my Dad has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done for him and the doctors have advised if there is something he really wants to do then he should do it in the next couple of months while he's still feeling ok.
Dad's always wanted to go on a cruise so Mum is looking into this for him
I want to make this cruise as perfect as possible for them, I want to upgrade their room, book them couple massages and dinner at the nicer restaurants, I want to make sure they go on all the excursions when in port, the works!
To do this I need your help.....
Cromwell guys, remember the pots of soup that would always be there after school, the trips to Queenstown or Wanaka where Mum and Dad would patiently wait for us to take us home again and the open door policy at 40 Wicklow Street?
Dunedin crew, remember all the central otago escapes that wouldn't have been possible if we didn't have somewhere free to crash and the amazing hangover bbq breakfasts Dad would cook up for us?
To anyone that has asked Mum for advise (she's such a good listener!) or got Dad to fix/build something (the ultimate handyman!)
Please take a minute to part with a couple of dollars to help give back to the couple that has always put themselves second.
The incentive........
You all know how much I love my long locks, I've been growing my hair for over 10 years now!
If we can't get together more than $2000 by September 27th I will cut my hair off!!
Thanks so much xxxx
Also Mum and Dad don't know anything about this so please don't mention it to them. Cheers :)
I am Dudley and Pam's daughter.
Mum and Dad have always looked after people, my brother with cerebral palsy, my pop that lived with them for 9 years while he had motor neuron, their best friend that had an accident and ended up in a wheelchair and of course the rest of the family that have lent on them countless times over the years for support.
They are a fantastic couple that have spent their 39 years together giving, so now I want to try and give back and make some beautiful memories.
