Please support us!! Relay for Life 2018
Hi there! I’m Ada, your neighbour from Trentham, Upper Hutt. With a group of other 4 fellow neighbours we will support the work Cancer Society Wellington does participating in Relay for Life Wellington 2018.
Relay for Life is an event during which we Celebrate with survivors, Remember loved ones lost to cancer and come together as a community to Fight back against cancer. This year, the Relay for Life Wellington event is at Frank Kitts Park, from 3pm on Saturday 17th March to 9 am on Sunday 18th March.
How CAN YOU HELP? Please donate to me and my team ‘L@s Primes’ by giving whatever you can (nothing is too little!) when visiting our page relay-for-life-wellington.everydayhero.com...
The more people that know about Relay for Life Wellington 2018, the greater the impact, so please also spread the word by sharing our page with your friends, family, co-workers and neighbours.
Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!!

⚠️ 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 ❤️
