Run2Heal, Much Much More than a Good Cause.Run2Heal Hamilton
Run2Heal on the shores of Lake Hamilton was (according to one participants) ‘the best mix of exercise, entertainment, fun and good humour ever I’ve ever attended’.
Hamilton delighted and thrilled its audience and at the same time raised over ten thousands of dollars for women’s health! (see Allison Roe Trust)

At the event in Hamilton Dr Mike Godfrey with his team from Tauranga, spoke a few words on his Thermography project (lauded by US Press as a major breakthrough in the detection and prevention of breast cancer and other conditions). The literature that he has produced is being made available to doctors and health care professionals throughout New Zealand. Dr Godfrey is a recipient of a Run2Heal grant.
