CEO skydiving to<br />
support cancer care<br />
in the community<br />
W<br />
ith 72 New<br />
Zealanders being<br />
diagnosed with<br />
cancer every day at a time of<br />
mounting pressure on healthcare<br />
services, it’s an issue that<br />
affects the whole community.<br />
Cancer Society <strong>Waikato</strong>/Bay<br />
of Plenty CEO, Helen Carter,<br />
says now is the time to turn<br />
the tide and is calling on businesses<br />
to get behind her as she<br />
makes the ultimate jump for<br />
cancer.<br />
“While the thought of<br />
jumping out of a plane makes<br />
me ‘jump out of my skin’ in<br />
terror, it pales in comparison<br />
to the grit, courage and<br />
determination of those I’ve<br />
met with cancer that keep<br />
fighting,” says Helen.<br />
Jump For Cancer is a<br />
fundraiser that raises money<br />
to support Cancer Society<br />
services in the <strong>Waikato</strong> and<br />
Bay of Plenty.<br />
The Cancer Society is 100%<br />
community funded and relies<br />
on donations from the public<br />
to run its services at no cost to<br />
its clients. These include oneon-one<br />
supportive care from<br />
experienced nurses, regular<br />
support groups, access to wellbeing<br />
grants and counselling,<br />
transport to treatment and<br />
accommodation at the Cancer<br />
Cancer Society CEO Helen Carter<br />
Society’s Lions Lodge close to<br />
<strong>Waikato</strong> Hospital.<br />
“I can’t understate what<br />
a difference the funds we<br />
raise will mean to our local<br />
community who rely on the<br />
practical support we offer.<br />
“Hearing how much our<br />
work is valued inspires me to<br />
keep fighting for funding and<br />
if that means jumping out of a<br />
plane and hopefully inspiring<br />
others, I’ll do it.”<br />
Helen is urging businesses<br />
in the community to support<br />
her jump and says she would<br />
love to see other CEOs take on<br />
the challenge with her.<br />
Jumps take place in either<br />
Tauranga on Saturday 20<br />
<strong>May</strong> and Taupō on Saturday<br />
Please make this<br />
jump count by<br />

Cancer Society. Or<br />
