Research shows that exercise benefits most people with cancer before, during, and after treatment. It improves physical function and fatigue and helps you regain strength to get back to your daily activities.

If you are looking for some movement and socialisation, then maybe give this free taster event a go. Saturday 7 March, 10:00am – 1:00pm at Table Tennis Northland Stadium, 97 Western Hills Drive, Kensington, Whangarei 0112.

Thank you so much to everyone who came along today to support our Pink Loop Walk! There were approximately 250 people, all decked out in various shades of pink, who walked, ran, cycled, scootered, or got dragged along by their dogs for 4.2kms around the Hatea Loop to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer support here in Northland.

Today, we raised over $1,600 that will go towards petrol and supermarket vouchers and frozen meals for whanau who have someone going through breast cancer treatment; help that is desperately needed when a breast cancer diagnosis means extra expenses and often reduced working hours while undergoing surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.

Of course we could not have done this without the support of our awesome volunteers and also our amazing sponsors from Bunnings Warehouse New Zealand, Event Cinemas, L Aesthetics, MindbodyandSalt, PAK'nSAVE Whangarei, Pet Essentials Whangarei, Sculptureum, Mokaba Cafe, Four Square Otaika & Live with Intention - Sandi Bain Reiki Master Healer. Please support these local businesses as they support us.

Every year we are amazed and humbled by the generosity of our community and the people who come back year after year, who donate to us even though they are unable to walk the full Loop, and who share our event with all their family and friends. You are all awesome 💖
