67 year young lady to do 89km ultra marathon around Porirua
My mum, 67 year young Gayle van Heerden is planning on doing the virtual Comrades around Porirua this Sunday (14 June). The Comrades is an 89km ultra marathon held annually in South Africa, attracting thousands of competitors from around the world. This year it has been cancelled due to Covid 19, and the organisers decided to hold a virtual comrades instead, where competitors can do 89km wherever they are and post their times and routes back to the event site.
My mum is currently in Titahi Bay, so decided to do it around the area. She plans on power walking the full 89km in under 14 hours. Her route will take her from Titahi Bay through Porirua, up to Pukerua Bay, back to Linden, and eventually finishing doing untold number of laps around Aotea lagoon.
If you are in the area and you see a tiny old lady with a stapled-together foam cap, walking like the blazes in the area between 5am 7pm, please give a shout of support.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
58.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.8% ... It is complicated
