She recently hosted birthEd’s free three-day Kaupapa Māori Antenatal and Kaiāwhina Education course at Te Kakano o Te Aroha Marae in Moera, Lower Hutt, and will hold another course in December.

The Wellington Marathon has been cancelled following the announcement the region would stay in level 2.

Event manager Michael Jacques, said the decision to cancel was disappointing, especially for the runners who had been training, but they needed to turn their attention to the 2021 event.

The 2250 registered runners would not be receiving a refund, but would be able to enter for free next year.

Jacques said the decision to cancel was "especially gutting" as it was the 35th anniversary of the marathon, which is the longest running running event in Wellington.
