Charity donations doubled today - Sweat with Pride challenge

Annuskha from Massey

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!

Here's the link if you'd like to Join me in doing the challenge: (DO IT!!)

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
