Amy Whitehead - Adventure for Dementia and the Pipeline of Pain.
Manage episode 380723879 series 2396344
Kia ora e te whānau. Amy Whitehead’s Auntie Joan had dementia. And it killed her. Like most illnesses that effect the brain and function, the seriousness of dementia is little understood and often mischaracterised. Grateful for the support that Dementia Canterbury gave her family, Amy (who may blame others for the idea) decided that she would take on the charmingly named “Pipeline of Pain” in the Port Hills of Christchurch, which snakes its way over 486m of elevation gain in it’s five kilometer length. Once, in January, Twice in February… and you get the gist. It’s nearly November and Amy will be lining up for her penultimate day of 11 loops of the pipeline, in the hopes of raising money for Dementia Canterbury and bringing people together to share in the challenge. We discuss Amy’s beginnings in running, hailing from Kepler Royalty, and her work in conservation. Matt goes after the provinces, and the animal encounters keep on coming . Best Enjoyed Running.
