150km swim for Starship Childrens Hospital

Brian from Mission Bay

Tomorrow I'm attempting NZs longest swim record, swimming 150km continuously down the Waikato from Karapiro to Port Waikato to fundraise for Startship.
Starship is our national childrens hospital and is hugely self-funded. They help families of children that have serious health issues like cancer.
If the thought of kids with cancer makes you feel a little something, maybe you could donate a little:

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
