Take care of your health and give generously.
These are two messages from local women putting the spotlight on women s health last weekend.
Mother s Day events were hosted at the Waitahanui Hall and on a Chris Jolly Outdoors boat on Sunday, with local women sharing their respective cancer journeys to raise money and increase awareness of breast cancer and cervical cancer.
The first-ever Mother s Day Kaupapa, organised by Carol Mitchell, Linda Northcroft, Josie Wall and Janice Wall, was held at the Waitahanui Hall. Speaking on behalf of the organisers, Janice said the women wanted to do something for mums in the Waitahanui community.
