Help with fundraiser
Hello
My name is Gwyn upritchard
I live in Appleby Invercargill.
I would like help to organise a fund raising and awareness walk.
I would like to do a 57km walk as :
An awareness of “Give blood save lives”
Raise money for the haemophillia Foundation.
The walk would be circuits around the sports ground between Ythan & Connon streets (650 metres per circuit).
The time /distance would be recorded on my Garmin Instinct watch.
If we could get some sponsors for prizes run a sweepstake for everyone that donates to the fundraising to Guess the time taken to walk the 57Km.
The time range would be between 8 & 10 hours.
I am 57 years old a Km for each year to get the 57 Km.
I would not be alive if it was not for the NZ blood service , as I had to have a blood transfusion as a Neo natal baby.
I myself am a blood donor.
I have not actually walked the 57 Km before.
When I was 46 years old I cycled 234Km over Arthurs pass in 13 hours so used to endurance.
Are you willing to help please.
Kind regards
Gwyn upritchard

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
