Fiona McKenzie wants to help stop hearts hurting.

The Team from Heart Foundation - Hamilton Branch

Fiona McKenzie wants to help stop hearts hurting. Having lost the love of her life, Dylan, to cardiomyopathy aged 36, she knows only too well the hurt and destruction created by heart complications. Not only for the people left behind, but also for those living with heart conditions.

Tragically Dylan’s twin died the same year, from the same heart condition which makes it difficult for the heart to pump and causes the heart muscle to become enlarged.

For the second time, Fiona is running the 12km Traverse at ASB Auckland Marathon and fundraising for the Heart Foundation.
You can support Fiona’s efforts by donating to her fundraising page - aucklandmarathon2017.everydayhero.com...

A liquor licence that would help sustain new supermarket FIFO after it threw a lifeline to a hard scrabble Hamilton suburb is being blocked by city leaders.
Plans to sell beer and wine at Nawton’s brand new Fresh In Fresh Out (FIFO) supermarket have hit speed bumps with two city councillors among those raising concerns over the community's vulnerability to alcohol harm.
