102km for Mary Potter Hospice

This year, my family and I spent many days at the Mary Potter Hospice and around their Incredible Team, Doctors and Nurses. In November my Uncle Andrew, passed away from a long and hard fought battle with Cancer. Without their facilities, generosity, compassion, empathy and kindness, the last few months could have been far tougher. Mary Potter Hospice have supported people with life-limiting illnesses and their families or whānau for more than 40 years, in the way they want, where they want.

It goes without saying our healthcare providers have had it pretty rough the last 2 years and especially organisations like Mary Potter Hospice who need to fundraise a large chunk of money to keep being able to provide services free-of-charge. Every single year they need to raise $7 million, yes that’s right, $7,000,000 a year to ensure they can keep providing the care they provided my uncle and our family at the end of his life.

The Team at Mary Potter Hospice have turned into more of a Family now and we are forever grateful for the support, time and care they gave us over the last 10 months. My way of thanking them is to help raise as much as I can by running my first Ultramarathon on the 12th of February 2022.
