Let's do this and get funds for Waipuna Hospice

Waipuna Hospice cares for people in their last year of life. Services cover the Western Bay of Plenty and I, as CEO of this organisation, and as a community member feel I have to do something to assist Waipuna to raise much needed funds that will be used to provide services in our local community.

Each year Waipuna Hospice has to fundraise $2.7Million to maintain the status quo for service provision. As you will understand in a growing community such as ours, this will also continue to grow. Today this equates to about $52,000 a week. A staggering amount that through the excellent support of our local community and events such as this we manage to make ends meet.

I am really proud to be able to do this for this charity - I am thankful that I have the capacity to do the challenge too - many of our patients won't and this is a small way for me to do my bit for them.
