Lap the Map for Diabetes

The Team from The Lions Club of New Brighton

November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and New Zealand's Lions Clubs are calling all New Zealanders to help them "Lap the Map" for diabetes awareness. Can you help us walk a combined distance surpassing the perimeter of the NZ coastline (15,000km)

Our Lions Club will be hosting a family friendly walk of the New Brighton Pier on Saturday 16 November 2024 and you can join in the fun anytime between 10am and 2pm - don't worry you can do as many trips to the end of the Pier as you like. Your total km will all contribute to the ultimate goal.

We are not asking for money to participate but donations can be given if you wish.

Diabetes is a growing problem in New Zealand, so let's do what we can to prevent and research Diabetes and more importantly to raise awareness.

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.

But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
