This page is to give people an opportunity to support Beth as she confronts the devastating diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease.

Dunedin, Otago

A few weeks ago, our beautiful Beth was given the devastating diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease. An untreatable, terminal illness which will rob her of precious time with her family and friends. Beth has shown tremendous strength taking this diagnosis on, constantly checking on others and worrying how this affects people close to her as she navigates this with courage and grace that is inspirational. It is with some reluctance from Beth, that we have, through this platform decided to give people an opportunity to show their love and support at this most difficult time. Beth has very limited time before this horrible diagnosis takes her already challenged independence away and then, heartbreakingly, her life. We would love her to be able to make the most of this time with the people she loves, and be able to create some special memories. She will also need additional resources and support as her condition progresses, which we hope this can also help provide. We appreciate any support through this extremely difficult time and encourage you to keep your loved ones close and treasure every moment. Much love, the wider Callister Family ❤️
