The tractor trek organizer Phil Aish said after his wife Janice passed away after being diagnosed with cancer 3 1/2 years ago Phil wanted to do something in Janice’s memory and he decided on raising money for Hospice.

In 2016 the Great New Zealand Tractor Trek raised $100,000 for Hospices cross the country.

“The unbelievable caring and compassionate people at Hospice made it possible for me to simply be there for my wife of 48 years – to sit by her side and hold her hand” says Phil “The genuine kindness, understanding and patience of everyone at hospice never diminished and they were caring of me and my family.
