Hi Bruce,
Chris Jones the Vice President of the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) is setting off from Placemakers, Cranford Street in Christchurch on Sunday 23rd September at 9:00 AM. on a 1,200 km bike ride to the Pedal4Prostate event being held at Hampton Downs on Sunday 7th October. If you have a road bike and want to ride with Chris for part of the way out of Christchurch (how about Rangiora) or all of the way up to Culverden on the first day then he would love to have you join him. Please be at Placemakers, Cranford Street between 8:30 – 8:45 AM for a 9:00 AM departure. Even if you’re not a cyclist then come along to help send Chris off on his way .
As well as raising the awareness around prostate cancer and fundraising, Chris also wants to remember the men who have not been as fortunate as himself and have sadly have passed away prematurely – like Michael Morris a friend of his from Christchurch – who at only 62 passed away after a long battle with prostate cancer that he could no longer continue to fight.
Chris is challenging himself in more ways than one and has also come up with a fun way of sponsorship and would like as many people as possible to get in behind him with his fundraising effort for the PCF. Here’s how it works:
1. A cent or more for each of the 1,200 km to the event
2. Ten cents or more for each of the km’s he rides at the Pedal4Prostate event.
3. A bonus if he achieves a personal best of exceeding 120 km in the four hours of the Pedal4Prostate event.
4. An opportunity to have a day of his ride dedicated to the memory of someone you know who was not as fortunate as he in surviving prostate cancer.
If you would like to support Chris with his fundraising efforts for the PCF in this way then here’s the link to the online pledge form and also the Facebook page “I Bike 4 U” that he has created.
Chris is also looking for someone to host him and one other for the night in the St Arnaud area in particular (shower, washing machine, meal, bed, breakfast).
If you have any questions or can assist Chris with his search for a host then do contact him directly on 027 435 4523 or via email vp@prostate.org.nz.
Regards,

Building job
I would like a pantry made in the gap the old hot water tank used to be. This involves a wall being taken out but it isn't load bearing.
Also a shelter outside over the bin area needs replacing.
I have tried Builders Crack and of the 3 only one turned up and I want more estimates.
Any recommendations of builders or handyman who are happy to at least have a look.
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
