‘The Maverick’ Russell loves a challenge

Bruce McLaren Retirement Village

At 96, Logan Campbell resident Russell Parrish has achieved an incredible feat - ‘knocking off’ the summit of One Tree Hill 30 times over 30 consecutive days. Plus, it was all for a great cause — raising money and awareness for Alzheimer’s in honor of his late wife Mary.

Every single day of September, come rain, shine or blustering gale, Russell set off from his home at Ryman Healthcare’s Greenlane village to walk to the top of the iconic mountain set in the heart of Cornwall Park.

The idea also coincided with Ryman Healthcare’s annual Walking for Wellness challenge, which this year aptly had an Everest theme.

We are reaching out to concerned parents and family members who have teens at home dealing with this challenging limbo situation.

The focus of these community workshops, currently in development, is to prevent isolation, loneliness, and disconnection from peers by encouraging socializing, inclusion, and open communication, while also providing support and information to the parents. There will be a focus on mindfulness, self-care, holistic wellness, self-management, and goal setting, while also encouraging online studies. The initial pilot workshop to be held mid to late November is more of a relaxed, no-pressure, fun event to break the ice and also build the collectiveness of the teens interested in attending the future workshop series.

So, if you are a parent, family member, or guardian of a teenager in this situation and are interested in their teen attending the initial pilot workshop and or are interested in more information about these workshops please feel free to reach out and have a conversation with us.

For an expression of interest in the pilot workshop or for more information about this CAB project please contact Cat on media.pakuranga@cab.org.nz or message 0273953775.
