Fiona McKenzie wants to help stop hearts hurting.

The Team from Heart Foundation - Hamilton Branch

Fiona McKenzie wants to help stop hearts hurting. Having lost the love of her life, Dylan, to cardiomyopathy aged 36, she knows only too well the hurt and destruction created by heart complications. Not only for the people left behind, but also for those living with heart conditions.

Tragically Dylan’s twin died the same year, from the same heart condition which makes it difficult for the heart to pump and causes the heart muscle to become enlarged.

For the second time, Fiona is running the 12km Traverse at ASB Auckland Marathon and fundraising for the Heart Foundation.
You can support Fiona’s efforts by donating to her fundraising page - aucklandmarathon2017.everydayhero.com...

Poll: Do you think an age check is required for these drinks?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Stores are checking IDs for fancy soft drinks and not everyone is happy about it.⁠

One shopper, who asked not to be named, bought some zero alcohol branded drinks at his local supermarket and was asked to “step around into the thoroughfare so a supervisor could see me and make sure I was over 18. I couldn't believe it."⁠

Do you think an age check is required for these drinks? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
