Day 30 - 70000 done! The Finale Finisher for your viewing pleasure!
6 March 2022Annnnnd thats a wrap!
A Finale Finisher to round off the 70000m for 70000 diagnoses.
Today would have been the annual Walk for Dementia fundraiser for Dementia Canterbury, that sadly had to be cancelled.
It's so exciting to be able to hand over our funds to them to make a bit of a difference to their support.
Final Fun Fact(s):
Some of the thoughts I have had whilst churning through the 70000m or 70kms over the past 30 days.
* I'm doing this for my own mental and physical wellbeing too
* In the tougher, sweatier parts - no pain, no $ gain
* Thankfulness for Dementia Canterbury supporting us in our own whanau journey
* Who came up with this idiotic idea... oh me...
* Sometimes I feel immense loss, panic and grief - gathering the facts for this project and having time out each day to think has been healing
* Overwhelmed at the support and discovering just how many other people close and not so close to me have experienced this in their families too
* Thankful to Lee and my employer that I could find the time each day to chomp away at my goal
* Thankful to my wonderful Gym whanau at Bodyfix for always having a spare Ski-erg or Rower at the ready and for their donation!
* Never more appreciative of the healing powers of a massage gun and protein powder
* Pride in everyone who has supported me
* Pride in myself for doing this thing!
* A rower time PB to boot!
* Thinking... what will next years challenge be?
* Sending my aroha to everyone on this journey... you are not alone, Kia Kaha ❤️
