Lap the Map for Diabetes
November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and New Zealand's Lions Clubs are calling all New Zealanders to help them "Lap the Map" for diabetes awareness. Can you help us walk a combined distance surpassing the perimeter of the NZ coastline (15,000km)
Our Lions Club will be hosting a family friendly walk of the New Brighton Pier on Saturday 16 November 2024 and you can join in the fun anytime between 10am and 2pm - don't worry you can do as many trips to the end of the Pier as you like. Your total km will all contribute to the ultimate goal.
We are not asking for money to participate but donations can be given if you wish.
Diabetes is a growing problem in New Zealand, so let's do what we can to prevent and research Diabetes and more importantly to raise awareness.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
