Help us support Hospice for those in need

Bay of Plenty

Everyday I see people who need the invaluable assistance of hospice care. People who have cancer, people who have end stage heart or lung disease, or an incurable illness. These are our families, our friends , our neighbors. Waipuna Hospice provides comfort and care, allows dignity and support for whānau and family.

I did it!!! 38  30 March 2018

Hello everyone,

It’s been quite a journey. Tonight was 38 times up the Mount. When I started, I wanted to help Waipuna Hospice because I was familiar with the great work that they did. Along the way, I found I also helped myself.

There were times it was difficult. I am still working full time as a physician. Trudging up the Mount at dusk after a full day at work, I almost quit a few times. I am too old, too tired , too aching.Th weather was bad. I had a million reasons not to do it. But, the support of my colleagues and the registrars and house officers, the nurses, and my family and friends kept me going. To all of you, thank you. 🤗🤗🤗.

I walked tonight with a giant (as we would say back in the US “big ass” ) grin on my face. I “high fived” four different people I have passed each time I went up. We have become a community of walkers committed to a common goal, and familiar faces linked by a singlet signifying our quest. To my fellow walkers, well done. To all that supported me, the words thank you are insufficient to express my gratitude.

I wasn’t sure I could do it, but it was definitely worth doing.

Thank you all,

Diane
