Natalie is running 160 km
To HELP our friends...
The lovely Northlander, Natalie Ganley is fundraising for Bay of Islands Animal Rescue....by running 160km in the Tarawera Ultra Marathon
On 12th February Natalie will be running 160km to support Bay of Islands Animal Rescue (BOIAR) so that they can continue to make an enormous difference in so many lives.
A year ago she adopted their their own Sunny dog from BOIAR. Natalie says “ They do an amazing job, and receive no government funding to support their work. To date BOIAR has re-homed over 3000 dogs as well as hundreds of cats, horses, sheep, pigs, cows, ducks, chickens and even rabbits and alpaca. They also provide an ongoing de-sexing programme as well as educating on how animals should be cared for.”
We believe every animal deserves to be happy, healthy and loved. You can help Natalie by contributing to the care of these vulnerable animals via the Givealittle page here: givealittle.co.nz...
Ka pai Natalie - you're inspirational!

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

-
41% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.3% No, I enjoy it

1.7% Other - I'll share below

1 July 2019
School children, parents and teachers, local maori Hapu members and Kuia & Kaumatua were among more than 100 people who together planted 51 trees in Whangārei to honour the victims of the Christchurch mosque shootings.
The idea for the planting of native trees to remember those who lost their lives in the March attacks came from a student.
