Poll: Have you heard of the Live Stronger for Longer movement?

The Team from ACC New Zealand

Older people can worry about having a fall, so much so that their activity reduces and they move less. Their strength decreases, affecting their balance and the risk of a fall increases. We want to know how many Neighbourly members who are over 65 have had a fall or fear falling?

We value our older people and want them to stay well and independent. We want them to Live Stronger for Longer. We’ll share more about why we’re asking next week.

Self propelling Skate baord

Sam from Stoke

I bought this on special for $160, it was usually $240. I cannot feel much propulsion off it, so it’s a duplicate of my long board and surplus, photo has a terrain park board as an illustration of difference in length, truck width and wheel size. It has been used about 4 times on railway reserve … View moreI bought this on special for $160, it was usually $240.

It has been used about 4 times on railway reserve and is as new, the deck is 7 ply maple. Goggle "skatesurf" for specs.
