Let's do something remarkable together!
Relay For Life is an inspirational fun event for everyone, all ages and all fitness levels. During the 12 hour carnival-style event we Celebrate with survivors, Remember loved ones lost to cancer and come together as one big community to Fight Back against cancer.
With your help we hope to raise $156,000 to provide:
● 12 x 4 week Post Radiotherapy workshops

● 600 x information booklets on all types of cancer
● 300 x supportive care home visits
● 220 x oncology massages
● Cancer Research
● A year's supply of sunscreen for community events

It’s a great cause and Resene is delighted to help with colourful paints for everyone to use to decorate flags and bags during the relay.

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