Relay for Life North Canterbury raises $85k
Participants walked multiple laps of Rangiora's Dudley Park on Saturday (April 1) to raise funds for Relay for Life North Canterbury and the Cancer Society.
The annual event aims to celebrate cancer survivors - no matter where they are in their journeys - and those who care for them.
Organisers said their efforts had "blown us away".
"To all the people who have supported our participants, whether it is financially, emotionally, physically, or on the side lines - thank you so much for supporting your people," they said in a Facebook post.
Organisers confirmed $85,000 had been raised as of Monday.

Are you for, or against?

9.4% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.6% I want to be able to choose.

Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦
Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.
Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.
So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
-
32.4% Yes!
-
67.6% No thank you.
