Taranaki Bulls players took a break from training for
their upcoming clash with the mighty Waikato this weekend to
visit patients at Taranaki Base Hospital on Friday (2
Sept).
Mitch Brown, Kaylum Boshier, Michael Loft and
Ricky Riccitelli visited fans young and old, signing
autographs and taking pictures.
The main subject of
chatter was, of course, rugby, with the recent All Blacks
performance and the upcoming Bulls game the subjects of the
day. The players also received plenty of coaching
advice!
Jonele Woodhead, nurse manager at Te Whatu Ora
– Taranaki, said: “It was lovely to welcome the Taranaki
Bulls players today, and they left lots of smiles on
patient’s faces after their visit. Spending time in
hospital away from whanau and friends can be hard, and
visits like this can give patients a real lift.
“We
wish the team luck in their game against Waikato – go the
Bulls!”
The visit was enabled by Leigh’s
Construction, lead contractor for Project Maunga Stage 2,
and Taranaki Civil, which is also involved in the
redevelopment of the hospital. Both businesses are sponsors
of the Taranaki
Bulls.
