A fundraising page for Mercy Hospice in memory of a mate.
Auckland
Some of you will know that I have been rowing (indoors) most mornings as part of trying to achieve a goal I set myself. This came off the back of a bunch friends and family raising money last year that went towards Jason Husband's journey with stage four bowel cancer. He passed last year in August and spent his last month up at Mercy Hospice in Auckland.
About the goal:
Off the back of moveforwep last year I decided to set myself a target of rowing 1,500kms before the end of 2025. 4.1kms a day on average over a year for those who don't want to get the calculator out.
With 80 days to go and I have 205.8kms left.
Fundraising:
The people at Mercy were amazing and left a lasting impression so I decided to see if through this rowing business I could try raise some money for them.
So its time to step it up a little bit more - I'll donate $1 for every KM I can row over 1,500kms BEFORE CHRISTMAS day to Mercy Hospice in Auckland.
If anyone wants to match this or contribute with whatever amount you choose, to go towards a donation to Mercy Hospice jump on in, they are such a brilliant charity.
In a good week I can get 45kms done, in an average week more like 35kms.
Done !!! 24 December 2025
Signing off at 1,620kms in this year's @moveforwep effort.
So 120km over the target at $2 per km means a $240 donation from me and as my friend @brad_weber9 said he would match it thats another $240 from him to go in the donation pot. This should bring us up to $3,830 for @mercyhospiceauckland
Thank you again to everyone who has donated and supported. And sorry @formond for a year's worth of 5am alarms it was for a good cause.
Time for some Christmas Ham and Beers.
