Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A cancer lodge that had a $550-a-day shortfall has been thrown a lifeline in the form of more government funding.

The Lions Lodge in Hamilton provides stays and meals at no expense to patients travelling for treatment, and the extra money means Waikato BOP Cancer Society boss Helen Carter “can sleep at night”.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
