Zooming for Zest

On behalf of the Zest for Life Trust I want thank you so much for your donation, and also to acknowledge Sam’s zestful effort in achieving this run and dedicating his fundraising to our trust. We feel so strongly about the importance of recognising those who have sometimes been called ’the invisible ones’ - people experiencing ME/CFS and fibromyalgia, silently suffering with little energy to look after or advocate for themselves. We want to see them and support them.

Our trust is a perpetual fund i.e. our capital is invested and we distribute interest earned, and in the next few months we hope to begin reaching out to people in the Nelson and Tasman districts and distributing some grants. We will keep fundraising into the future to grow our fund and would love support from anyone who has bright ideas or energy to help us with this. One idea is to get a team going for running events in our district next year (with Sam as our esteemed leader!) and we’d also like to run another big cycling event at the end of summer if we can get a team of volunteers. Please let me know if you have the capacity and enthusiasm to be involved.

Once again thanks for being wonderful and supporting Zest for Life.

Stay Zesty! ~ Ange Palmer
