Big-hearted people needed in Wellington!
We’d love for you to be part of the Wellington Marathon this year on Sunday 1 July. You’d be helping the more than 186,000 Kiwis who are living with heart disease...these are people we love; people in our families and communities.
This year we need to raise $20,000 to help fund much needed heart research and specialist training for cardiologists – will you support us in this goal?
There are so many ways you can help:
- Join the Heart Racer team
- Become an event volunteer on the day
- Donate to the Heart Racer fundraising page
We look forward to seeing you there!

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
