Fundraising for Mental Health Foundation NZ - Running 1830 km in 2020
Hey,
My name is Jean; for the last 48 days, and for the next 318 days, I'm running a minimum of 5 km/day to raise awareness about the importance of Mental Health in our communities.
We all have a friend, a sister or brother. a workmate, or someone in our whanau suffering from depression, post traumatic stress disorder, sometimes all the way down to suicidal tendencies. Often we don't know about it, because of the stigma associated with it. And when we get to know about it, it might be too late.
So every day in 2020, I'm running 5km to bring that up and raise funds for Mental Health Foundation NZ.
This is the equivalent of running from Whangarei down to Invercargill.
Mental Health Foundation NZ work in schools, so that it gets easier to reach out when you need it, early on. Their work is key to helping those in distress.
I'm asking for your help here, because you can do something about it.
Have you or a close friend/relative been affected by mental health issues? Please donate at givealittle.co.nz... and make a difference today!
All donations go straight to Mental Health Foundation NZ (minus the givealittle fee) and are tax deductible.
If you see me running around your neighborhood (I wear a purple "I'm sweating for Mental Health" t-shirt), please give me a wave or a hi-five ;-)

Many thanks

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.

Loved Cat lost from Paradise Road, Napier! Posted on behalf
Please call the number in the photo if you see Spot. He is desperately missed by his family ❤️🐈💔 He is missing from Napier but could be anywhere as he has been known to hop in cars plus he has been missing 3 weeks now. NB there have been 2 potential sightings - the most likely sighting is Hyderabad Road near Northe Street
