A Kāpiti family are “blown away” by the outpouring of love and support they have received after the death of their 11-year-old son.
Last Saturday morning, the Tate family went to wake up their eldest son, Jacob​, but he could not be roused and was unresponsive. The family called emergency services and attempted to resuscitate him, but it was too late.
Speaking on behalf of Jacob’s parents, Rachel and Andy Tate​, close friend Abby Woollaston said Jacob was a sensitive, caring and funny boy.
“He went against the flow and stood out in a crowd,” Woollaston said.

Recommendation

Marie from Waikanae

Like to treat yourself occasionally? I recommend Kapiti Cakes at Coastlands. In the lane that goes through to Kapiti Lights, they are really good. Their coffee is great, a decent sized cup and full of flavor. The cakes are all delicious, and range from downright decadent to scones and muffins.… View moreLike to treat yourself occasionally? I recommend Kapiti Cakes at Coastlands. In the lane that goes through to Kapiti Lights, they are really good. Their coffee is great, a decent sized cup and full of flavor. The cakes are all delicious, and range from downright decadent to scones and muffins. Their cream donuts are to die for, fresh and not too sugary. If you have an occasion to celebrate, they have a selection of gorgeous gateaux. The staff are friendly, service is excellent and the shop is always spotless. One of the best coffee shops i have been to.
Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Every Friday morning dozens of people who suffer from strokes, Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions fill up a Porirua dance hall to dosey doe, salsa, and disco dance.
But they are not just there for fun, but to improve their brains.
Dancing has so many beneficial effects on the brain that it is now being used to treat people with Parkinson’s disease, which affects about 1 in 500 Kiwis.
“Motion is lotion, getting people moving is really important,” dance leader and physiotherapist Rachel Horwell​ said.
