Running for Willy
Willys final wish
Auckland
The legend, the icon , and my mum, Willy Kloeten passed away on the 6th July 2026.
Mum was diagnosed with cancer 23 years ago. And what a miracle the last 23 years have been, given her short life expectancy following her diagnosis.
Unfortunately her cancer battle has come to an end and one of her final requests was that a donation was made to Mercy Hospice.
A keen supporter of the hospice herself, she would volunteer at the Ponsonby hospice shop once a fortnight.
When mums cancer returned, the hospice was involved in taking care of her until she passed away. She had such high praise for them in her last couple of weeks and I will be forever grateful to the hospice for taking care of mum in her final journey of life.
So, to support mums final wish I am going to run 100km in the month of August to raise money for Mercy Hospice.
Please follow my journey and donate as you wish!
Thank you
Martina
