Lincoln cropping and sheep farmer Liz Morrish has taken everything cancer can throw at her and still come up determined to do as much as she can for others…
Alongside farming, community and Morrish’s love for sport have always played a big part in her life.
She has been a keen netballer “forever”, played tennis and badminton and more recently tried her hand at golf.
“I decided between the two [community and sport] I wanted to do something for the community that I have been a part of all my life.
“Over a couple of wines with the netball girls I came up with the idea of a fundraiser to help those who are less fortunate than I am because cancer does not choose those who can afford help and treatment.”
Two weeks ago, Morrish, close friends and the community pulled of her idea with Lincoln-based Masters netball teams the Lustys and Springlines lining up for a community event in a game of walking netball.
“I am one of the Lustys, we have been rivals and friends for many years,” says Morrish.
“We are all too old to actually play netball so we decided walking netball, which is actually a sport.”
Morrish approached every business in Lincoln and was overwhelmed with the support for her fundraiser for the Selwyn Cancer Society.
