Hi neighbours - I'm Rémy, one of thirteen young adults about to take on the challenge of our lifetimes! We're each climbing up Mount Maunganui 38 times in 38 hours (the vertical equivalent of Mount Everest!).

Our objective is simple: raise at least $10,000 for the CatWalk Trust, a charity dedicated to finding a cure for spinal cord injury. We will push the limits of what we can do on our own feet, so that someday more people will be able to get back on theirs.

We would love your support! You can donate directly here, and stay up to date with our progress by following @ThirtyEightin38 on Facebook and Instagram.

DEAR COMMUNITY, IF YOU CARE ABOUT HOMELESS PEOPLE PLEASE READ THIS MSG 😍

I just started with a fitness and well-being project for homeless women in Auckland.
For the past few weeks I start working with Auckland City Mission that covers the CBD area only and now I'm trying to find out if there is an organisation that looks after the the homeless people here locally, in our community.

I own LIONESS - The Gym for Women in Highland Park and we are about to open another studio branch in Pakuranga for our members, and I would like to offer some complimentary fitness and well-being services to the local homeless women and perhaps also to affiliate with other local businesses and we can do something together ♥️

Can you please email me at info@lionessgym.co.nz if you know of any organisation that is looking after the east/south homeless people
