Kelly Hutton

Today’s guest is a wonderful woman I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for the past three years. During that time Kelly Hutton - one of the OG Canterbury Flames netballers - has been living with stage three Ovarian Cancer. She’s beaten it twice - but was told at the start of August that she’s got just weeks to live. Kelly and I first met when she won a charity auction helicopter skydive with me, and we have kept in touch ever since. She has a passion for living life and really has pulled the middle finger at her cancer. Since diagnosed she's done half marathons, jumped out of helicopters, walked some of our beautiful walks and got a good chunk of the way through cycling across Aotearoa before she got sick again. Now, she really is out of time, and this may very well be the last time I speak to her. We were messaging and she asked if I was open to doing a Kiwi “end of” Yarn - she said we Kiwis don’t tend to talk that much about the end of life and “this sort of shit enough”, so could we hit one final spot together and change a bit of the world. We'll miss you Kel, but we are so lucky to have had you in our world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
