Looking for research participants
Kia ora, I'm looking for people with advanced cancer to participate in two studies I'm running, funded by the Cancer Society.
They are both about end-of-life experiences of two different groups of people who have life-limiting cancer:
1. Those who have chosen not to have hospice services involved or those whose referral has been declined by hospice.
2. Those who are seeking assisted dying.
Given the COVID situation and the health status of the participants, we will be conducting the interviews online. This means participants can be based anywhere in NZ.
I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.
I have received ethical approval for each study from the Northern B Health and Disability Ethics Committee.
If you are able to share the study flyers with anyone you know who meets the study criteria, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for considering my request.
Ngā manaakitanga, all the best,
Jessica

FREE 10-liter emergency water bottles
Merry Christmas -
I have around twenty, empty 10-liter distilled water bottles to serve as emergency water storage. I saved them for my friends, but they already have their own water supplies. Take as many as you like. Please respond to this notice if you are interested.
Best wishes - Michael
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
