Red Cross Journey Dog
Hi my name is Charlie! During the month of September my Mum and I are taking part in Red Cross Journey.
Red Cross Journey is a fundraiser for the New Zealand Red Cross where you walk 10,000 steps a day. While walking 10,000 steps you will follow the journey of a Red Cross Delegate or former refugee family that has resettled in NZ and fundraise for people in need.
You can walk to 10,000 steps as an individual or team, like the team we have created the "HB Red Cross Walkie Talkies". Fundraising can be done by using the online fundraising platform or holding events such as a car wash, morning tea, mufti day or quiz night like Mum is organising.
There is also a really cool section for schools that includes pop quizes, essay questions and more so you can learn while you take part.
Want to get involved? feel free to use the link below and join the Walkie Talkies... or set up your own team... why not ask your friends, family, work colleagues or classmates to join you? or make a donation to the team, every little bit helps! Yesterday we were the #1 team in NZ and we have just been overtaken so we need your help to get back on top.
Registrations close 31st August, with step challenge being held from the 1st to the 21st of September.
If you have any questions about the event please contact amber.mcarthur@redcross.org.nz

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
