Life Stories Breakfast - Has Ended

Palliative Care ACT is hosting a breakfast on Wednesday 9 August 2017 at Hotel Realm from 7am to 9am.  The event is a fundraiser to relaunch our Life Stories Program. 

We receive many requests from people who are dying to write their life story and leave their legacy. A life story is a healing therapy. Life stories can play a part in reviewing clients’ lives in order to see the bigger picture, reminding them that what they have done and who they are has made a difference, and that their lives have been meaningful.

A person’s life story is also therapy for loved ones, families and friends. Research shows that a life story supports the bereavement process and makes this journey easier following the death of a loved one.

Have you thought about what will you be known for when you leave this earth? The most influential people, the ones who leave behind incredible legacies, will live on in the hearts of the people they touch. Physically, they will no longer be a part of society—but their principles, philosophies and achievements will become immortal, spreading from generation to generation.

Monies raised from the breakfast will fund specialised training of our volunteers and provide much needed resources for the program.

Join us for a delicious breakfast at Hotel Realm on Wednesday 9 August at 7am.  We have Jean Kittson, Australian performer, writer and comedian as our keynote speaker.  Jean is also a women's health advocate and presents a lighter tone on the issue of death and dying and wants people to start the talk before it’s too late. We will also have Clyde Rathbone, co-founder of Karma and former Wallabies and Brumbies player as our MC for the morning.

The Life Stories Breakfast is part of PC ACT’s Dying to Know Day events. Dying to Know Day is held on 8 August each year with events to encourage conversations and curiosity, build death literacy and help grow the capacity of individuals and community groups to take action toward end of life planning.

Tickets are $85 per person or $800 for a table of ten and can be purchased online - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/life-stories-breakfast-tickets-35473380837
