Helen Kelly stepped down from the CTU a year ago but continued to campaign for others and for the right to use medical marijuana.

Helen was diagnosed with cancer in February 2015.

As the cancer worsened, she used cannabis products to control the pain. "Nobody's judged me on that."

Helen Kelly continued her support for the Pike River families attempting to hold someone to account for the 29 miners who died.
