A cancer diagnosis is one of the most frightening times in a person’s life. Patients often spend countless hours in treatment, which can be overwhelming and filled with uncertainty. In these moments, a little extra comfort and support can make a world of difference.

A huge thank you to World Marudao Karate Organisation for their recent Charity Quiz Night, which raised $18,000 to fund two Comfortline2 Treatment Chairs at Wellington Hospital’s Blood and Cancer Centre.

These ergonomic chairs will significantly enhance patient comfort during lengthy treatments. They also easily adjust to meet the needs of various procedures, from chemotherapy to blood transfusions. By improving the overall treatment experience, this will help make an incredibly tough time a little more bearable.

This year marks the 9th anniversary of the dojo’s support for the hospital through their Quiz Night, raising a staggering $142,000 to date!
