Daisy Dives for Dementia - Alzheimer's Awareness month

Sophie White from Driving Miss Daisy Nelson

Here we go again! Driving Miss Daisy Nelson are participating in ANOTHER Daisy Dives for Dementia!

September is World Alzheimer's Month and we are getting together to raise awareness around what is means to live with this disease, and the daily struggles people are faced with. We deal daily with people affected by dementia, so we are combining forces to raise funds for Alzheimer's Society Nelson with a skydive marking Alzheimer's Awareness month.

So far the diving squad consists of Tracey from Nelson West, Harry from Nelson East, and Rhys who floats between both franchises, along with our business guru John Hopkins.

You can support this cause by heading to givealittle.co.nz... and donating what you can!

And if you want to be super- supportive, it's not too late to join the 'diving squad'!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
