Targeted exercise can help fight cancer

The Prostate Cancer Foundation

Gavyn and the team at Growing Younger in Howick are excited to be working with the Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ to launch Prost-FIT; a fitness class designed especially for men with prostate cancer.

The Growing Younger team is keen to invite men along to a Prost-FIT class to ‘give it a go’.

The first class is free and, to quote Steve, a member of a Christchurch Prost-FIT class, “Prost-FIT has been fantastic for my general health and wellbeing. I look forward to the class and would recommend it highly to others who may be in the same situation as me.”

When: Tuesdays 6pm
Where: Growing Younger 18D Highland Park Drive, Pakuranga
Cost: $10 per class (funding available)

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In October, the fine for parking in a designated mobility car park without a permit has jumped from $150 to $750—a 400% increase!

The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.

Smoke in Mt Wellington

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.

Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.

Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.

Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.

A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.

At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
