A 96 year old Auckland man recently completed the monumental task of walking to the summit of One Tree Hill everyday for a month.
Logan Campbell Retirement Village resident Russell Parrish used the September challenge to remember his late wife Mary, who passed away in the village's dementia unit last year after 69 years of marriage.
Rain, hail or shine, Russell scaled the iconic mountain, and says the memories he shared with Mary in Cornwall Park were with him on every step.
He also raised money for the Move for Dementia charity along the way.
Our reporter Leonard Powell visited Russell, who began by sharing the story of how he and Mary met.
