Strokes affect people of all ages. Around a quarter of all strokes will occur in people under the age of 65 and about 40 children have a stroke every year in New Zealand.
Fundraising is important to enable the organisations who support people with strokes to continue their work.
This year Stroke Central and Kauri Theatre have joined forces to hold a fundraising ‘Bad Girls (& Boys) Ball’ on August 24, so named to reflect Kauri Theatre’s production of Bad Girls the Musical - to be staged in September at the Gryphon Theatre.
The ball is being held at The Boatshed in Wellington on Friday, August 24, 2018. It is not a fancy dress event just an opportunity to dress up and have fun The cost of the ticket includes live music, food, entertainment and spot prizes.
You can find out more and buy tickets at www.kauritheatre.org... or kauri@gmail.com or www.eventfinda.co.nz...

What do you think about your nurses rejecting the latest pay offer from District Health Boards? It's now been confirmed that 24 hours of strike action will begin at 7am Thursday.
A "majority" of the New Zealand Nurses' Organisation's (NZNO) more-than-30,000 members have chosen to take industrial action - a move described as "unprecedented".
What do you think about Thursday's strike? Were you surprised they rejected the last offer? Or do you think they deserve more? Let us know in the replies!
For the next 48 hours, due to wastewater overflows, we advise no recreational water activities such as Swimming, Kayaking or Canoeing in two locations along the Hutt River (south of Melling bridge and Silverstream).

On Thursday 5 July a small wastewater leak occurred near Melling Train Station, which led to an overflow of wastewater into the stormwater network, resulting in wastewater entering into the Hutt River.
Because of heavy rain over the weekend we were unable to repair the leak immediately. In order to carry out the repair, the wastewater had to be diverted to the Silverstream wastewater storage tank.
This tank was already full due to the heavy rain over the weekend, resulting in wastewater overflowing from the storage tank for a short period of time this morning into the Hutt River at Silverstream.
Repairs have been carried out at Melling today, and there have been no further overflows into the Hutt River at this location. Wastewater is no longer being to diverted to Silverstream, and the wastewater overflow has stopped.
If you have been in contact with the Hutt River, at either location, during the time of the wastewater overflows, please contact your doctor or call Healthline on 0800 611 116 if you become unwell.
Operations are in full swing around Maymorn as the PF Olsen process trees into logs at the new skid site.
