North Canterbury Sergeant Andy Norton initially didn’t think he’d be able to join the police force because of his condition, which manifests in physical tics.

He's now about to embark on a gruelling 24-hour bike ride to raise funds and awareness of the condition.

Norton is actively involved with Camp Twitch, an annual camp for children living with Tourette’s and their families.

“I want to let them know there is hope, that it doesn’t stop you achieving what you want to achieve.’’

He will start the 24-hour challenge at 7pm on August 14 using the virtual cycling platform Zwift to notch up the distance.

“I would like to nominate and THANK our great neighbour's living at Viv Davie Martin Drive for their creativity and huge effort during lock down. They lifted all our spirits with their daily Teddy bear reenactment on how to keep busy. Each day people came to see what Teddy bear was up to. With keen interest kids in our neighbourhood even gave Teddy a proper name...meet Vincent LOL! It's through times like this that such acts of goodness should be acknowledged and the memories they hold forever treasured. A selected few photos of Vincent's daily lockdown activities "thanks Vincent :)"

All these trees have been removed by ECAN under the guise of "Flood Protection" with (as far as I know), no public warning or consultation, and I thought we lived in a DEMOCRACY. Also the shared walking,cycling track has basically been destroyed. Good one ECAN. Dan it would have been nice for the Public of Rangiora to be told this was going to happen.
