Here we are already well into 2018 with its many challenges.

Many of you will already know that we have been busy planning our new accommodation

facility “Ranui Apartments” and the great news is that we have our resource consent and the building consent has been submitted to the Christchurch City Council. The plans look amazing; Higgs Construction, Paul Harris and the team are great to work with and we are so looking forward to starting.

For many patients and families “Ranui Apartments” cannot come fast enough. Last year more than 1,348 patients and their families stayed at Ranui House. The demand for our services continues to grow and we are finding that we are having to regularly turn people away as we are often full.

The total build cost is expected to be in the vicinity of $10.6 million. It seems like a daunting amount, but we are positive we can do it.

We have started our fundraising journey, but it is a changed environment to when we built Big Ranui in 2006-2008. We have had the support of a steady level of grants and Trust funding for which we are truly grateful. There is great demand on this market with many charities competing for donor support. Our next focus will be on approaching Corporates. If you do have any good contacts in this area we would greatly appreciate your help.

During the year a very successful roadshow was held in Queenstown along with an auction which raised $2,000-00. All the auction items were organised and donated by local people. We also travelled to Nelson where a wonderful afternoon tea was held at the Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village. Here we were privileged to be presented with a cheque for $5,000-00 from

the Altrusa House Trust. We do plan to organise more of these road shows and try to get around as many communities as we can to spread the good news about Ranui House and our new Ranui Apartments.

There are a number of ways you can all help to achieve our fundraising goal and enjoy a little fun along the way. Whether you attend a fundraising event or raise funds in your own creative way please know that every little bit makes a difference. We have had people doing amazing things to raise funds from the fantastic offer of the sale of cherries, a charity bike ride from Karamea to Westport, a boxing match, busking, playing guitar at functions, half marathons and heaps more. There are also lots of other fantastic things people are planning to do in the future and we are looking forward to hearing how these events go.

We have been given a wonderful opportunity to help towards our fundraising. In 2019 Ultimate Hikes have donated the amazing Milford Track walk as a fundraiser with 100% of the funds coming to the Trust. We are extremely grateful for their generosity. There is further information on this event later in the newsletter and how you can support the Trust through this walk, should you be inspired to do so. Thank you, Ultimate Hikes, we so appreciate you.

As always, we are incredibly grateful to all of you for your donations, gifts of time and all the little extra things that make our families loved and cared for. Thank you again we could not do what we do without you.

On a more personal note in the last newsletter I mentioned my son David and his partner Sivan were looking to relocate to New Zealand. I am pleased to say they have happily settled after many years away and David is now the executive chef at “Original Sin” a very upmarket restaurant in Christchurch. It is so wonderful to finally have all my family together again in Christchurch. I have been blessed to have Andrew and Charissa with my four grandchildren here for several years now.

“It is a privilege to serve

families in their time of need.”

This year I do not have any big plans for an extended holiday but will be visiting Israel (which I love) for a three weeks in September. There is too much going on here for me to be away too long!

Thank you to everyone for the part you have played in making Ranui House a “Home Away from Home” for our patients and families. We couldn’t do it without you. Also thank you to my office and housekeeping staff who are amazing and work so hard.

I would like to thank our wonderful volunteers who cook delicious dinners every few weeks for everyone staying at Ranui House. Our families love it and it is always a very social evening. It is especially good for new residents as it is a way of getting to know other people in the home. Also, our lovely ladies from GBB who bring wonderful home-made goodies every week for our afternoon teas which my girls put on, thank you ladies for your faithfulness. Last but not least, is our lovely flower lady Wendy. Thank you so much Wendy for bringing the beautiful flowers each week. It is so great to have flowers everywhere, they make such a difference.

It is a privilege to serve these families in their time of need and see what a difference Ranui House makes. The wonderful resident’s stories in our newsletter confirm this.

Thank you all for being part of our journey and now our new vision for the future.

On Your Bike Pete Fuller was featured in our residents’ stories in last year’s newsletter. Pete stated then that his “current plan is to cycle from Karamea to Westport as a fundraiser for Ranui House.”

True to his word, (on one of the wettest days Allison had ever seen), Pete and his team of 7 riders and a support crew of 5 vehicles (including two ex-US Army Jeeps) set off on a distance just greater than 95kms. Leaving Karamea at 6am, they arrived at Victoria Square in Westport at 1pm. Pete and the other riders cycled the Karamea Highway, State Highway 67 which at the highest point meant they had to cycle up a hill 433 metres above sea level!

Through Pete and his partner Barbs’ fundraising efforts, as well as involvement from the Buller community, they raised an incredible total of $6,254-38. This total includes $882-00 raised from a clothing sale held at the Buller Anglican Parish Church.

The original plan also featured a Party in the Park in the afternoon with a large number of stalls, bands, music and a celebration of the riders’ arrival. There was a large amount of support and anticipation of this being a fun afternoon, however the rain put the dampener on it and the Party in the Park had to be cancelled, much to the disappointment of a great many people.

When asked about the amazing bike ride, Pete said he wanted to say “thanks to all that rode as they did the hard yards. As for the sponsors and the supporters, there’s too many to thank personally but it wouldn’t have been possible without their help.”

“Well done Pete & team!

A huge thank you

to everyone involved.”

Look Who Came to TeaOn 22nd February 2018 a memorial service was held at the Canterbury Earthquakes National Memorial to mark the seventh anniversary of the disaster.

It was a great turnout with a number of dignitaries attending including the Prime Minister Jacinda Adern.

The theme of the memorial service was “Keeping our dreams alive”

Leanne Dalziel reflected that “it helps us to look at all we have lost

with a sense of hope and aspiration for the future. It also helps us to recall all those who came to our rescue and those who offered support at a time of need and what that meant to us”

After the event family and friends gathered for an afternoon tea organised by the Christchurch City Council at Ranui House.

Residents and Allison were delighted when Jacinda Adern arrived (with her bodyguards in tow). Jacinda spent a lot of time chatting to Allison about Ranui House and the important part it plays in “Keeping Families Together.”

Jacinda’s parting words

“I am sure that our paths will cross again

Allison.”

“We really can’t thank

the team enough.”

Resident’s Story

Elsie Lee – CHOC – Wellington

We became Christchurch residents in July 2017 when our 10-month old daughter; Elsie, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called neuroblastoma. Staying at Ranui House took a lot of our stress away by giving us a safe and easy-going place to live while we battled through Elsie’s treatment.

Ranui really is an amazing place. Everyone we have come across has been so so friendly and have really gone out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

Ranui House provided us with everything you could think of and then some, and it allowed us to have family members and friends come stay when we needed that extra support.

Now, half way through her treatment, Elsie is thriving and doing so well; something I truly put down to being able to maintain somewhat of a normal family life here at Ranui House.

We really can’t thank the team here enough. Allison, Yvonne, Zoe, Helen, Edith & Julie-anne – you have all made our time here so much easier and we will always be grateful for that. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Elsie, Natalie & Tom

Resident’s Story

Wayne Stuart – Haematology – Hokitika

Our Ranui Journey began September 2016 (the start of our West Coast Whitebait season!!), my husband was rushed from Hokitika to Christchurch Hospital with 7% kidney function so had an immediate start on dialysis. While my health deteriorated with stage1 leukaemia my immune system worsened and I got vasculitis, which required a lot of rest. BUT through the ups and downs we were eventually discharged from Christchurch 4 months later.

Over that period the one constant that helped make our stay in the city bearable was the kindness and compassion shown to us from Allison and her amazing, caring team of hard working office and cleaning women. Our beautiful apartment was beyond what we could have wished for which helped take the stress away from the reality of ill health.

January 2018 we returned as we were blessed to have a kind family give my husband a kidney. The transplant for us is bittersweet as one family is grieving because of the loss of a loved one, we very humbly celebrate our chance of a better future together.

Once again Ranui gave us comfort by allowing us to minimise the stress by giving us a home for 4-6months. The weekly afternoon teas and amazing meals that volunteers prepared for us all is just a small touch on the positive good that is offered here.

Words could never express how grateful we are to be allowed to stay at Ranui. Much Love to Allison and her Amazing Women xx

Raina & Wayne Stuart

“Words can never express how grateful

we are.”

Our Rugby WinOn the 1st July 2017, instead of travelling to Wellington to watch the All Blacks vs Lions match, approximately one hundred people – friends and business acquaintances from Oamaru to North Canterbury, met at a local hotel to watch the game on a large screen with all proceeds from this night going to Ranui Apartments new building fund.

There was lots of fun, great auction items, much laughter, and even tears when the Lions won 15-6.

The event was organised by Paul Burns from Craigmoore and Mark Grenside from ANZ. The total amount raised from the night was $5,132-00 which was fantastic.

“Thank you Mark & Paul and everyone

who supported this event.”

“St Practice Day 2019

is coming!”

St Practice Day Hold on to your green top hats and grab your shamrock as St Practice Day 2019 is coming!

A practice run at the St Patrick’s celebrations, St Practice Day will be held on Wednesday 13th March 2019 at Fat Eddie’s in Christchurch.

Keep an eye on the Trust’s website and Facebook pages for when tickets go on sale.

We are on the lookout for any company or person who could donate prizes to be used in our auction at this fundraising event. Please don’t hesitate to contact us in the office about this.

Not One But Two In October each year we hold our annual Charity Golf Tournament and each year we approach local businesses for support. This year Mitre10 Papanui and Mitre10 Hornby came to our rescue and donated a fabulous wooden outdoor Jack and Jill setting for a prize at our Golf Tournament.

But their generosity did not stop there. They arrived with another seat all assembled for our residents to use. Many a good coffee and a chat has been had sitting in the sun on this seat.

“Thank you Mitre10 – you

are double awesome!”

Haematology Prize Each year the Bone Marrow Cancer Trust offers a $3,000 Haematology prize to a fifth-year medical student at the Christchurch School of Medicine to encourage them to look at Haematology as their specialist area. The students are selected from the top (usually 5) student’s marks obtained in the 4th and 5th year Haematology exams.

The 2017 prize was awarded to Emma Mayo.

At the time of writing, Emma is travelling around South America and has sent photos of her travels.

“Ranui House is a God-send.”

Resident’s Story

Perry Brown – Oncology – Picton

Ranui House is a God-send for those like us who live far afield.

My husband Perry was diagnosed with cancer. We travel to Christchurch every 4 – 6 weeks for appointments and treatments. Radiation therapy was required for 6 weeks.

Staying at Ranui House is stress-free, a home away from home.

Ranui House had everything a person requires when they find themselves in need of accommodation. Christchurch Hospital is just across the Avon; a short walk over the bridge next to the Boat Shed Café. There are no parking issues to worry about and beautiful scenery to de-stress with.

Ranui House staff are all wonderful. Zoe and Yvonne are the best. The Housekeepers do a fantastic job cleaning all the units. Allison is very passionate about Ranui and raising funds for the next big project; Ranui Apartments to be built across from Hagley Park. Facilities like these are in so much demand for patients outside of Christchurch requiring specialist’s treatment. The apartments really go hand in hand with the new Christchurch and Children’s Hospital currently under construction, enabling people like ourselves comfortable accommodation when hospital treatment is required.

Ranui is a fantastic place to stay.

Perry and I are truly grateful to all the staff and appreciate your on-going care and support.

Marg & Perry Brown

“Thank you AMI for your

kindness.”

Communal Cupboards Full Thanks to AMI Staff from AMI arrived with groceries to fill up our communal store cupboards for residents to help themselves. There was such a lovely variety for our residents, including pasta, soup, chocolate, tinned fruit and breakfast cereals all generously given by the team at AMI.

Having these items has really been wonderful to help out any residents who may not be able to get to the supermarket.

Resident’s Story

Jan & Robert Holmes – Orthopaedics & Urology – Chatham Islands

Our first stay at Ranui House was not long after the Chatham Islands was moved from Hawkes Bay to Canterbury Health Board area. We were not sure exactly where it was or the area around the inner-city. Coming from Chatham islands the plane arrives just on lunch time a busy time of day traffic wise, so the shuttle right to the door was a blessing giving us time to get our heads around where we were and the chaos of city life.

Zoe was also new to her job then, she helped with the paperwork, showed us around the building, rules and regulations and finally to our unit.

The unit totally blew us away with the lovely layout and cleanliness, so functional a real home away from home. Private, but with access in the main kitchen/lounge to mix and mingle with other residents if we desired. Safe and secure something we really appreciated. The toy box in the lounge was great when the grandchildren visited as was the selection of books or puzzles to help fill in the waiting times.

Hospital appointments at CHCH Public were within walking distance, when we had appointments further away the use of the small car was another blessing without the hassle of hiring full time.

All the staff from the cleaners to the CEO are so helpful, encouraging, thoughtful and efficient in their jobs. We have now stayed several times and have always had a cheerful welcome, being treated more like family than guests.

Long may people continue to respect this wonderful facility and funding be available for it to function as a necessary part of health care for people travelling to CHCH for medical appointments and treatment

From Chatham Islanders we say a huge “Thank-you” to all involved with Ranui House and for the privilege of being included in the Trust’s vision of keeping families together and appreciate having a home away from home.

Jan & Robert Holmes

“The unit totally blew us away.”

“A fantastic day out.”

Charity Golf Tournament 2017 On the 27th October 2017 our annual charity golf tournament was held at the Christchurch Golf Club. It was a fantastic day out thanks to the the great mix of teams that participated, the on-course beverages (kindly donated by Lion) and the delicious barbecue food supplied by Peter Timbs Meats. The weather started off a bit cool and cloudy but the rain held off and turned into a very pleasant evening. There was an on-course opportunity to win a BMW car if a player scored a hole-in-one on the specified hole on the day. Sadly no one drove away with it.

The day was rounded off with a presentation dinner and auction with items ranging from a Luxury Golfers Day Out, Hanmer Escape, and even a Scenic Helicopter Flight. There was also a raffle with twenty sought-after raffle prizes.

Over $36,000-00 net was raised from the tournament, auction and raffles which is a fantastic result.

A big thank you needs to go to Phil McGoldrick our auctioneer and MC for the night, our hole sponsors and those that participated, our helpers on the day, Christchurch Golf Club management and staff as well as all those individuals and companies that donated items. We appreciate your support very much.

The Bone Marrow Cancer Trust Charity Golf Tournament for this year will be taking place on Friday 26th October 2018. Mark your diaries and we’ll see you there!

Resident’s Story

Raeleen Hobbs – Haematology – Timaru

In September 2011 our world was knocked

sideways when it was discovered I had leukaemia.

In September 2017 this was all coming to

the end, when our Consultant found a drug

trial I could be part of. This meant being in

Christchurch once a week for 8 weeks. That was

when we learnt about Ranui House.

The first time we arrived at Ranui House, we

were made to feel very welcome by Yvonne

and Zoë. Zoë showed us around, told us how

things worked at Ranui, then showed us to the

apartment we would be staying in.

These apartments are really nice, comfortable and

clean with everything we would need for our stay.

We only needed to take our clothes, toiletries

and food. Ranui even provided a car park while

we stayed there. This relieved the problem of

finding a car park around a hospital. Before that,

as my body became so tired, walking from a motel to the hospital was not good and finding a car park was

sometimes impossible. On some occasions my husband would drop me off at the haematology clinic, then go

and find somewhere to park. Afterwards he would go and get the car and come back to pick me up. Ranui

House removed all that stress.

Ranui House is just across the road from the Boat Shed Café (where they have very nice food if you want it).

The haematology clinic is only 9-10 minutes walk from Ranui House. When I started the drug trial it was very

comforting to know if I got in trouble I was not far from help.

To help with the feeling of being part of the Ranui family, Allison, Yvonne and Zoë put on afternoon teas on

Wednesdays for the residents. Yvonne took us the first time we went and we were made to feel so welcome.

Ranui House has the support of a group of volunteers who do the baking. We met a lot of others in the same

situations as ourselves, but the room was full of a lot of laughter and chat.

At the time of writing, we are still using Ranui House once a month and it is a great reassurance to know we

will be able to stay when needed until I am off the study.

Allison, the CEO, really thought about everything when she set up Ranui House; the hospital so close, places

to eat close by if needed, a car park for every apartment, even close to the walkway around the Avon, or a nice

place just to sit when we needed to let off stress or just get some fresh air.

Thank you to Allison, Yvonne, Zoë, the housekeepers and the trust board members – everyone who is helping

make my leukaemia journey a positive one.

Raeleen & Tony Hobbs

Resident’s Story

Trevor Leighton – Haematology – Nelson

On June 16th 2017 Trev was diagnosed with Acute Lympho-blastic Leukaemia (ALL). We were told the treatment would be many months in Christchurch. He was flown from Nelson to Christchurch the next day.

While Trev flew down, I had gone home to quickly organise animals, time off work and to let family know what was hap-pening. I threw a big bag in the car and started driving: the only thing was I didn’t know Christchurch or where I was going to stay! Going through Amberly my phone rang and I was given an address and number of Ranui House. The first person I met was Yvonne who greeted me with a smile and kind words. When I was shown the apartment, my first words were “Wow! Is this really for me?!” I couldn’t believe it – a full kitchen, two bedrooms, our own bath-room, a washing machine & dryer, plus a secure car park.

Ranui House is very secure with special tags to get through the gates and doors. This makes you feel very safe staying here.

Allison, Yvonne and Zoe are always happy to help and ready to answer any questions.

Even though I would vacuum and tidy my apartment, there are three wonderful women; Helen, Edith & Julie-anne who come in once a week and give it a good clean and polish. They also keep the main kitchens and lounges spotless.

One question I get asked is where I would be if it wasn’t for Ranui House. The answer is; “At home in Nel-son.” Without this amazing facility I would not be able to be here to be Trev’s support person.

Ranui House and staff have been a very big part of our lives, one that we are grateful for as it has become our home away from home.

2018 and we are still here. We both want to say a big Thank You to Allison, Yvonne, Zoe, Helen, Edith & Julie-anne.

Trevor & Helen Leighton

Birthday WishesThe Bone Marrow Cancer Trust has a tradition of sending all our patients a card on their birthday. We really enjoy doing this and we often receive phone calls thanking us for the card.

However, the increasing cost of postage has meant that this is becoming more expensive.

As a solution the Trust has decided to only send a card to the new patients on their next birthday after their stay at Ranui House. We will no longer be posting out birthday cards to all patients in our database on their birthdays each year. We are really sad about not being able to continue with this and we thank you for your understanding. If we have your email address, we would like to start sending out e-cards.

“Ranui House and staff have been a very big

part of our lives, one that we are grateful for.”

Cherries

Sue Halstead of Iversen Orchard (pictured on right with her two children) had a wonderful fundraising idea of donating $10-00 to the Bone Marrow Cancer Trust from every 1kg of her Central Otago cherries sold.

A whopping $2,440 was raised from this fundraiser. It was only possible through the generosity of Sue and Iversen Orchard, Mike Jones at the Boat Shed Café, Liz Kane, Viv Noakes & Helen Leighton (our wonderful residents who staffed the stall), as well as all the wonderful people who bought the cherries and supported us.

“These teas are such a

valuable time for patients and their families.”

Afternoon Teas One of our return residents; Jim Nuttall from the Chatham Islands, very

kindly donated two crayfish for the residents. Zoë oven baked one cray and

steamed the other for afternoon tea one Wednesday. The residents loved it

and it was quickly eaten up. There were enough scraps left over however for

Zoë to take home to her new kitten Lucy who couldn’t believe her luck!

The Boat Shed Café over the road from Ranui House even donated the

chopped parsley for garnish to really finish off the presentation – a feast

fit for Masterchef!

On top of this, the wonderful folks at GBB donate baking to our

residents each and every week to be used at Wednesday afternoon teas.

These teas are such a valuable time for patients and their families to have

time to relax, a chance to meet others and a time to chat.

Put Up Your DukesLast year the Trust was approached by Logan Chatfield to ask would we like to be the recipient of his match in the University of Canterbury Student Association Charity Fight Night.

On 22nd July 2017 Logan competed in a boxing match organised by the University of Canterbury Student’s Association to raise funds for charity. The fight consisted of three 2-minute rounds. His opponent was Jarrod Still.The match was broadcast live through Facebook and our Secretary Zoë was watching the match, cheering for Logan. It was a close match which came down to points in Jarrod’s favour with both fighters giving their all.

In Logan’s words: “I wanted to try out the boxing, as I thought it would be a fun experience and a good way to support a good cause. I heard about Ranui House from some friends. After seeing what they were all about I decided that they’d be a great charity to support, and so I got in contact with them.”

Logan created a Give A Little page and raised $775-45.

“A great effort, thank you Logan!”

“They didn’t even stop

work when they took business calls.”

Helping Hands BNZ’s Closed for Good is their annual day of volunteering. BNZ close their stores and most of their support offices on the day to get out into New Zealand communities to lend a hand.

We were lucky enough to have a team of six BNZ employees assist us at Ranui House in August last year.

From cleaning, to water blasting and from laminating to tidying, this bunch of eager workers rolled up their sleeves and lent a much-appreciated set of helping hands.
