Multiple Steps event raises awareness about Multiple Sclerosis
On a mild Wednesday evening, over 450 walkers and runners, some in costumes and others in wheelchairs, participated in the Hawke's Bay Multiple Sclerosis Society Multiple Steps fundraising event.
MS affects one in every thousand people, so many of those participating live with the MS or know someone with the condition.
We provided resources, facilities and refreshments as part of our Giving for Good programme, in support of our colleague Kendall Hinton, who was diagnosed with MS several years ago.
MS manifests in a wide spectrum of conditions from mild pain to severe disability. Progress with treatment and management allows many MSers to lead fully functioning lives. While genetic and environment factors influence the condition, the cause remains unknown.
This event provides a friendly opportunity for serious runners and recreational walkers, while raising awareness of the work of the MS Society.
MS Hawke's Bay is represented by Nicola Brown, 06 835-8542.
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
