Help with fundraiser
Hello
My name is Gwyn upritchard
I live in Appleby Invercargill.
I would like help to organise a fund raising and awareness walk.
I would like to do a 57km walk as :
An awareness of “Give blood save lives”
Raise money for the haemophillia Foundation.
The walk would be circuits around the sports ground between Ythan & Connon streets (650 metres per circuit).
The time /distance would be recorded on my Garmin Instinct watch.
If we could get some sponsors for prizes run a sweepstake for everyone that donates to the fundraising to Guess the time taken to walk the 57Km.
The time range would be between 8 & 10 hours.
I am 57 years old a Km for each year to get the 57 Km.
I would not be alive if it was not for the NZ blood service , as I had to have a blood transfusion as a Neo natal baby.
I myself am a blood donor.
I have not actually walked the 57 Km before.
When I was 46 years old I cycled 234Km over Arthurs pass in 13 hours so used to endurance.
Are you willing to help please.
Kind regards
Gwyn upritchard

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Poll: Is the Te Araroa trail on your bucket list? 👟🌳👣
Great news for Southland adventurers! One of the toughest stretches of the 3,039km Te Araroa trail (from Kaitaia all the way down to Bluff) might soon get an upgrade.
Te Araroa Trust is aiming to raise $30,000 to kickstart a raised timber boardwalk in the Longwoods Forest, making this challenging section a little more enjoyable for future walkers.
We’re curious: Is the Te Araroa trail on your bucket list?

A riddle to start the festive season 🌲🎁🌟
I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?
