Hello friends, colleagues, and family.
I've known too many of my friends, colleagues, and family that have been diagnosed with cancer of some form. But nothing is more heartbreaking than having someone very close going through this. Many of you will not know this until now that my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer late last year.

I felt so helpless and wanted to do something to support her. All I could do was to just be there for her, to listen to her difficult times and to do anything practical to make things easier. She has been undergoing treatment, has just completed her radiotherapy and is doing well so far.

She started to lose her beautiful long hair during chemotherapy and as you could imagine this was upsetting for mum and so she decided to have all her hair shaved off. It was then that I decided to shave my hair off too, but when and how?

So I created a page on everydayhero doyourthing-wbp.everydayhero.com... and set a small goal which I hope to reach within the month and to completely shave my hair off on Friday 15th June 2018. You can see the event here www.neighbourly.co.nz...

This is where you can support me to support my mum and many others to give to the Cancer Society Charity by generously donating whatever you feel is right from your heart.

Thank you for your support, my friends, my colleagues, and my family.
Frostie

Home safety checklist: Fall-proofing your home when over 65...

With cooler weather embracing the country, you may find you’re not getting out and about as much. So now is the ideal time to make sure your home is as fall-proof as possible.

The home safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to make your home safe. It covers how to avoid slips and falls in the home’s most used areas. For example, paths can get icy in winter, applying salt or sand to your path can help avoid any icy slips.

Having a fall can be upsetting. Those over 65 have a one in three chance of having a fall, while those over 80 it’s one in two.

The good news is falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.
