Charity donations doubled today - Sweat with Pride challenge
Hi Neighbours!
I'm doing the Sweat with Pride challenge for the month of June (which raises money for charity) and today all donations are being matched (doubled) by Spark!
I haven't managed to get very many sponsors so far so even a small donation would help me if you have the ability please?
21 minutes is the magic number we all need to exercise to be healthy so I've joined the challenge and am raising money for charity as I go..
I've committed to exercising for at least 21 minutes EVERY DAY this June, both for myself and to help out some pretty cool charities..
Every dollar raised will go to Burnett Foundation Aotearoa and fund projects in partnership with RainbowYOUTH, OutLine, and Tīwhanawhana to improve the mental and physical health of Rainbow communities in Aotearoa. YAY! COOL!

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
