‘The Maverick’ Russell loves a challenge

Murray Halberg 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.

Winkle the traveling Gnome

Judy from Sockburn

My first book was just published on Amazon. Winkle writes about his life living with humans. This is an entertaining read, and more books will follow. I do have some available at home or buy directly. We have over 26,000 hits on our blog that is written almost daily. My aim is to make people laugh.
