For The Health of It

In Sickness and in Health: Granting Loves last wish with ‘My Wedding Wish


Listen Later

Welcome to For The Health Of It Podcast. A Healthcare Australia podcast, made for Healthcare professionals by a nurse on the inside. Your host today is Jess Tully, the HCA Brand Ambassador, and today’s episode is going to hit you in all the feels (the emotional feels that is)!  
 
Jess interview Lynette Maguire, the CEO and founder of a national charity called “My Wedding Wish”. Lynette wears many ‘hats’ and is not only working in the mental health space, studying her PhD, but also is a celebrant. She helped a family who had a 24-year-old terminal son whose dying wish was to marry the love of his life. Lynette organised a photographer, florist, arranged suits/wedding dress, and got the approval to do a marriage (normally it’s a 4 week wait). Only 2 days later, that man passed away! But he got to pass away as a ‘husband’ which was his wish!  

 

This started the whole “My Wedding Wish” charity, and now Lynette has connections Australia wide and now branching out to New Zealand. Lynette has a HUGE heart, and this is the job where she wears her ‘sparkly hat’. I love Lynette's passion, and I know you will too! Let’s spread the word about this incredible charity.
