Help Patients and their Families Get Through Their Toughest Times!
This Saturday 11th December marks one year to the day that my son Brodie had a bone marrow transplant due to being diagnosed with auto immune Aplastic Anemia. There have been a few "speed bumps" along the way, and a long way to go, but overall Brodies recovery has gone remarkably well.
To mark the anniversary, Brodie, a keen multisporter, had signed up to take part in the Taupo Half Ironman, but alas, due to covid this has been cancelled.
However, this will not stop Brodie going the distance, so on Saturday he is heading up to St Arnaud to do a 1.9km swim, 90km bike, and 21km run. But he needs your support.
Brodie has set up an ambitious fundraiser, to raise $100,000 for RANUI HOUSE ( a home away from home for patients and their whanau while they are undergoing lifesaving treatment ) and the ADOLESCENT & YOUNG ADULT CANCER SERVICE (AYACS).
Below are the links to Brodies give-a-little page & "Brodies Journey" Facebook page.
The fundraising will be ongoing, with Brodie also signed up to do the 2022 Coast to Coast & 2022 Taupo NZ Ironman ( full event this time! ), so please take the time to check out his story, donate if you can, and share the links far & wide to help him achieve his fundraising goal.
Your help will be hugely appreciated.

Turn downsizing stress into strength
Downsizing can open the door to a new stage of your life that is rich in opportunity. However, it can be a daunting prospect. If you are embarking on a new chapter of life, the thought of shedding familiar possessions can feel even more stressful. This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.
Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
