Runner attempting 100km in gumboots to fundraise for stricken farmers

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

George Black knows he won’t save the world’s problems by running 100 kilometres in gumboots, but he at least hopes to ease some for Canterbury farmers.

The 24-year-old will this week run from North Canterbury to Christchurch – in size 8 Red Band gumboots – in the hopes of at least raising $10,000 for farmers going through tough times.

On Thursday, the real estate agent will run from The Peaks in Hawarden, to Amberley, across to Rangiora, and then from there to Hagley Park.

Good luck George!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
