Free exercise programme for post-menopausal women
There is currently an exciting opportunity for post-menopausal women to take part in a 3 months mini-trampoline exercise programme! This research is going to examine how a 3-months mini-trampoline exercise programme can improve overall fitness, bone density, and pelvic floor muscle functioning in older healthy women.
We are currently looking for post-menopausal women between the ages of 50-69 years old. The study will be carried out at Lower Hutt and Wellington locations. It involves three assessments testing physcial fitness, bone density, and pelvic floor muscle functioning (up to 1 hours for each assessment). You will also be able to take part in a 3 month mini-trampoline exercise programme within a group of 6 people. Participants will receive up to $100 in travel vouchers for taking part in the study.
For more information, or if you are interested in taking part, please contact me directly through a message here of through an email to: A.Fricke@massey.ac.nz!

in need of Hydrangeas for wedding
Hello everyone
My daughter is getting married this Saturday 28th February and the venue was battered by the storm and destroyed a lot of the flowers we were allowed to use. I'm reaching out to see if anyone has any green white or baby pink hydrangeas in their garden that they wouldn't mind parting with ?
Would be very much appreciated
Thank you
Linda

Our amazing Hillary Hikers from Edmund Hillary Village showed their support for Bowel Cancer New Zealand's Move Your Butt campaign this month!
Sporting the bright purple and orange campaign shirts, these wonderful walkers hit the Auckland waterfront and marched from Mission Bay to Kohimarama, raising awareness for bowel cancer and the importance of early detection along the way.
