A great September & October had here at Waihi Family Doctors supporting Child Cancer Foundation for their annual Wig Wednesday.

It’s been a pleasure seeing the generosity and kindness from our community for an amazing cause.
In total our donations came to $1063.00 which has been an amazing and incredible response, along with Waihi Family Doctors doubling each donation as an extra support.
Thank you to all who helped us along the way - Steinies Hair Masters providing us with the bleach goods and our Karen for completing the dye process.
And of course a big Thanks to Robin Douglas for stepping up and being the face of this event.
Lets see what next year brings....

We’re so excited to welcome a new GP to the team today, Dr Casey Rasch from Montana USA.
He’ll be a regular duty doctor in the urgent clinic, as well as seeing booked patients.
He’s going to be a great asset to our community and we can’t wait for you to meet him.

May I present to you.......PINK ROBIN

We have had lots of fun and laughter with this event.
Thank you again for all your support, comments and donations.

On a serious note, we know some are going through tough times out there, but know your donations will go to those families needing that personalized, one-to-one support for their child with cancer, go through every step of their difficult journey.

Our page https://wigwednesday.org.nz/w-family-drs is still open for donations. OR our donation box will still be at reception if you would like to have a little giggle with Robin and brighten up your day.

First Step - Bleach! (Kindly donated by Steinies HairMasters)
Robin has been a trooper through this process and through the laughs here at the Clinic.
For those that have just joined us, we are raising funds for the Child Cancer Foundation. Robin happily agreed to be the face of Waihi Family Doctors and dye his hair a bright funky color, the color chosen by our communities donations. And as you can tell PINK has won.
We will give Robin a little break this morning (he may have woken up with blisters this morning) and then start on the pink...
Thank you again to everyone for backing and supporting Robin.
If you would like to donate please visit https://wigwednesday.org.nz/w-family-drs or if you would like to see our blonde Robin in real life, we have a donation box at reception.
