Member Event: Onwards ....Beyond the Finish Line

Description

Sponsored by Cancer Society/Waikato
Helen Barron - physio, trail runner, coach, mum, wife, sister, daughter, friend, legend.

In February 2023 Helen completed the internationally acclaimed Tarawera 100-mile ultramarathon in Rotorua - an international trail race where she placed 5th. A week later, she left for the Northern Hemisphere for her work as a Performance Physiotherapist with the NZ Ski and Snow Board tea. Two weeks later, in her bathroom at the World Championships in Georgia, she found the lump on her tongue, and so her cancer journey began.

Onwards is a Ben Wallbank film documenting Helene's cancer journey. She hopes it can help others navigate their journey and hopefully help raise funds for the Cancer Society along the way.
