I'm raising hope for the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand; New Zealand's only dedicated funder of neurological research.
In 2022 my mother was diagnosed with two rare brain-related conditions and passed away after a short but hard-fought battle. The 4th of July will be the second anniversary of her passing, and I thought what better way to remember her than me making an effort to do something she always wanted me to do... swear less.
So this July I'm going to attempt to drop a few less f-bombs in my mothers honour.
Because I'm realistic, every time I do drop an f-bomb I'll add a $2 donation of my own. Last time I did this my donation at the end of the month was... well lets just say... over $200. As I'm writing this I've already dropped one f-bomb as I forgot it was the 1st of the month. I'm sure others will take great pleasure in hold me to account and reminding me to add to my tally when I do slip up over the course of this month.
It'd be really good if others could get in behind the cause and sponsor me to raise some money for this worthy cause. Suggestions for a two tier system have been made... with the better I do the more people will pledge - anyway, in these tough times any support would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Want to know more about the Neurological Foundation? Read on...
1 in 3 people are now affected by a neurological condition - making what they do important to many Kiwis. They fund approximately $5 million worth of neurological research each year to further our understanding of the 700+ neurological conditions that exist. Every day researchers and clinicians dedicate their working day to finding cures, to developing treatment methods, and preventing the devastating effects of these diseases.
I'm inspired by what the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand does and want to help ensure that they can continue saving lives. Please help me help them by giving what you can, no matter how big or small, using the ‘Donate’ button. Together, we can raise hope for all those affected by neurological conditions - now and in the future.

9 more days to go…
Monday 22nd Jul Well team, we’re 22 days in. And I’ve dropped 86 f-bombs so far - That’s 3.9 per day which I suspect is substantially less than my usually my normal hourly swear rate.

Taryn I don’t know you or your mum but you both sound like freaking amazing humans. Best of luck in banning the f bomb, that’s not something I could do… but I suspect my mum would also be happy if I did! What a great way to raise $ and awareness. Go you good thing!!!
