Judi's Greatest Wish

$2,090 donated
Given by 32 generous donors in 9 weeks

Following her diagnosis of incurable lung cancer in September 2015, This page was created to assist Judi in fulfilling her lifetime dream.

Auckland

From as early as can be remembered, there has only ever been one dream....one wish greater than than any other, a personal reward for a lifetime of hard work that Judi was to gift herself upon retirement. To visit the home of Country Music, Nashville Tennessee.

Stemming from a lifetime love of music and the gift of her amazing voice, Judi has spent many many years entertaining at various venues throughout Auckland including many of Auckland's RSA's where she has been able to share her love of music and bring so much joy to so many people.

Kind, Caring, selfless with the ability to make anyone smile with a massive heart. If she has, she will give, and if she doesn't she will find.

On the 11th of September 2015, Judi was given the news that everyone fears. Before treatment was even able to start, The malignant tumour on her right lung discovered 2 months earlier had spread and is now at a stage that is not curable.

Within 2 weeks Judi will start chemotherapy in the hopes it will give her more time with us however this will not change her prognosis.

I ask that anyone able to help, no matter how small an amount, please help us fulfil this dream of Judi's and get her on her way to Nashville.

We will also be holding a fundraising evening at the Avondale RSA on Sunday the 1st of November 1PM-8PM. Live music with a number of groups performing from all around Auckland. Raffles with amazing prizes, a great night out for all. Dancing shoes a must!!! Tickets are now being sold for $20.00 and are available from the Avondale RSA or buy contacting Leah on 021-103-117 There will also be door sales on the night.
