Running for fitness becomes global goal 

• By Jacob Page 

THE DESIRE to “lose a few pounds” 

after university has taken Jeremy 

Duggan all around the world one 

fast footstep at a time. 

The 33-year-old Christchurch 

Hospital physiotherapist and social 

runner decided something needed 

to change 15 years ago. 

“I’d over-indulged in the university 

lifestyle and things were 

starting to get away from me so I 

decided I’d set a goal to complete 

the Christchurch Half Marathon 

in 2006. 

“Came in with a time of 2hr 36sec, 

so not bad for a first time effort.” 

Duggan, who lives in Avonhead 

with wife Jo and daughter Eleanor, 

said running came to him at the 

right time. 

“I played cricket and hockey growing 

up. 

“Running is a personal thing, you 

don’t need to rely on anyone else, 

you just get out there and do it. 

“Along with going to the gym, 

that was the motivation I needed,” 

he said. 

Since 2006, he has completed full 

marathons on four continents, including 

Antarctica, and plans to tick off 

the remaining three, Asia, North 

America and Africa when time and 

travel allows. 

“I did the London Marathon in 

2013, where I dressed up as an All 

Black carrying a rugby ball all the 

way. 

“Two years ago I did Antarctica 

in March. That was all layering,” he 

said. • Turn to page 2

“A couple of thermals, t-shirts, a 

jumper and thick socks with trail 

socks and away you went. 

“My wife and I did six months 

around South America after that, 

and I did no training, I thought 

the hiking we were doing would be 

enough but it wasn’t. 

“I did that one in Uruguay in 

Montevideo. I met the runners wall 

at the 21km halfway mark. 

“Then I did Queenstown for the 

Australasia leg last year and hit the 

wall early in that one too. 

“It’s not as flat as many would 

expect.” 

Duggan said he was also eager 

to give back to the running community, 

so began volunteering with 

Achilles New Zealand’s Christchurch 

chapter. 

The organisation helps people who 

are visually impaired or have other 

disabilities the chance to get active 

through running. 

The group meets every fortnight at 

the Antigua Boat Sheds. 

Their aim this year was to send a 

team to the New York Marathon in 

November, which is now in serious 

doubt due to the coronavirus outbreak. 

“There’s been lots of fundraising 

done, so we’ll just see what happens, 

but it may be a 2021 goal,” said 

Duggan.

“They go up to Wellington for 

Round The Bays in February and 

they do other events throughout the 

year so it’s a great thing, and there’s 

some pretty good athletes among 

them.” 

Duggan said running had taken 

him to many great locations and got 

him to a point in his life he would 

not have believed he could get to at 

the start. 

“If we rewound the clock 15 years, 

I wouldn’t have put myself where I 

am now. But it’s been really good.” 

New winter boots 

offer style & comfort 

The Shoe Room in Riccarton Road, just across from 

the Bush Inn Centre, had only been open a few months 

before lockdown required all retail outlets to close, and 

now owner Charlotte Russell and her team are excited to 

welcome customers back again. 

The Mephisto range comes in a range 

of funky colours. 

“We have a wonderful new shipment of winter 

footwear that has just arrived, and we look forward to 

showing these styles to our customers,” Charlotte says. 

A key feature of the new range is the selection of 

elegant ankle boots from several leading brands, all 

designed to complement the new season’s fashion 

trends. For example, there are the platform ankle boots 

from Mephisto in leather and nubuck suede, which are 

available in a selection of funky colours, as well as black. 

Not only stylish, these Chelsea-style boots offer the 

comfort of an air cushion sole. 

The Planet range of low-cut ankle boots, also available 

in suede and leather, feature a small heel, removeable 

insoles for extra comfort and come in a selection of 

the new season’s fashion colours. Planet is a ‘green’ 

company with an environmental philosophy that sees 

them planting a tree for every pair of shoes sold. 

A new brand being introduced at the Shoe Room this 

season is the Australian brand, Klouds. Their range of 

stylish court shoes feature seamless stretch leather 

tops, so they fit extremely well and are very comfortable. 

While the shop was closed the Shoe Room offered 

customers an online purchasing option though their 

website www.theshoeroom.co.nz. Shoppers have been 

invited to browse through the selection online then call 

or email the Shoe Room to place their order. 

Boots by Earth complement winter 

fashion trends. 

“By inviting customers to contact us we are offering 

a personal service though which we can discuss their 

requirements and ensure they get the right fit,” Charlotte 

says. “For us, it’s all about the fit, and this service is still 

available.” 

The Shoe Room is located at Unit 3, 355 Riccarton 

Road, opposite the Lone Star. Opening hours are 

Monday 10am-5.30pm, Tuesday to Friday 9.30am- 

5.30pm, Saturday 10am-4pm and late night by 

arrangement. 

For customer convenience there is an off-street 

parking area behind the shop, with access from Auburn 

Avenue. Dedicated Shoe Room parking spaces are 

located right by the back door.

He said being a physio didn’t 

mean he was able to resolve 

physical ailments any quicker 

than the average runner. 

“I’m not always one who 

will ask for help in that way. 

I just keep going. I’m not 

always the best as practising 

what I preach.” 

Duggan said he enjoys his 

role helping people regain their 

fitness, movement and quality 

of life. 

“There aren’t many glory 

cases. It’s a lot of sprained ankles 

after silliness on a night out, or 

helping out the older patients 

which I do really enjoy.” 

“Running is one of the only 

sports you can do as an amateur 

athlete while travelling the world 

and get medals as an adult – as 

I say, you don’t need equipment. 

I’ve travelled to some amazing 

places for half marathons – some 

places that don’t attract the 

typical tourist like Luxembourg, 

Latvia and Terni in Italy. 

“I have also run under the 

midnight sun in Iceland where 

the race started at 10pm, so 

runners were coming through 

at midnight around the summer 

solstice.” 

He said events like that he will 

remember for a long time.

New online book 

initiative for seniors 

A NEW online book 

programme has been set up 

with older Cantabrians in mind, 

aiming to maintain social 

interaction with others while 

physically distanced. 

Campfire - Stories Read Aloud 

for Adults was created by the 

city council’s libraries staff, 

featuring a fresh chapter read 

by librarians from a book every 

Wednesday and Friday. 

City council head of libraries 

and information Carolyn 

Robertson said library staff 

produced the programme with 

“our older adult community in 

mind and in collaboration with 

Age Concern.” 

“It is a story time for seniors 

as we help ensure that our older 

library users remain engaged 

during the lockdown,” she said. 

“We believe Campfire can 

boost well-being for older adults 

and bring a fresh face – and 

voice – to their day. They can 

watch and listen to our librarians 

as they read aloud. 

Ms Robertson said for many 

older people who have enjoyed 

books, listening to another voice 

can bring comfort in connection. 

“Some may have also lost the 

ability to read because of poor

eyesight or physical impairments. 

We want to hold on to 

that social interaction and love 

of books.” 

Age Concern Canterbury 

chief executive Simon Templeton 

has welcomed the story time 

programme, describing Campfire 

as “a great initiative.” 

“Older people are often avid 

readers, so any programme that 

enables people to stay connected 

with their library, with others 

and with reading is great,” Mr 

Templeton said. 

“Some specific groups will 

benefit, including those with 

vision impairment, dexterity 

issues, or the housebound. I 

think this type of programme 

will grow in popularity as the 

population ages. 

“I see it as a daily part of 

residential care therapy for rest 

home residents, and the means 

to have a ‘book club’ for those 

who can’t read. 

“While many older people do 

not use the internet, there is a 

large number who do – and this 

is growing,” he said. 

Anyone can access Campfire 

via the libraries’ website.

Teddy book to support food banks 

• By Bea Gooding 

A FAMILY known for 

their creative teddy 

bear displays during 

the lockdown are due 

to release a book next 

week while raising 

money for Christchurch 

food banks. 

The adventures of Theodore 

Bear and Rudolph 

brought joy to the Opawa 

neighbourhood in the past 

few weeks, with the bears 

undertaking different outdoor 

activities each day. 

Whether it was chopping 

wood, having a bear picnic, 

washing the car or playing 

board games, local families 

loved it so much that they 

asked for more – a book that 

compiled all of their adventures 

in one place. 

Opawa resident Susan 

Doherty said her daughter, 

Emma, developed 30 ideas for 

the setup one day before the 

lockdown began; not satisfied 

with simply placing bears by 

the window. 

“I shared Theodore Bear 

and Rudolph’s adventures on 

Facebook and Instagram. Later 

I received messages from people 

who were by themselves, feeling 

isolated, enjoying the daily 

posts,” she said. 

ADVENTURE: Theodore Bear and Rudolph made daily 

appearances over the lockdown, much to the amusement 

of the local children. A book based on their exploits will 

donate all profits to Christchurch City Mission’s food bank. 

“It soon became apparent 

that this was helping members 

of my community, both young 

and old, and it was much bigger 

than two bears sitting at 

the gate.” 

Because people had expressed 

an interest, the idea 

for the book came to life and 

it was now in its final stages of 

printing. 

Mrs Doherty and her 

daughter planned to donate all 

profits from the book’s sales to 

the Christchurch City Mission 

Foodbank. 

“I think that majority of 

people purchasing the book 

will use it as a keepsake of this 

period of time and how we as 

JOY: Susan Doherty and her 

daughter Emma were the 

masterminds behind The 

Adventures of Theodore 

Bear and Rudolph. 

a community got through the 

lockdown,” she said. 

In addition to the book, 

Theodore Bear was also featured 

on postage stamps this 

month because his photo was 

one of six that won New Zealand 

Post’s Share your Bear 

competition. 

Said Mrs Doherty: “I feel 

happy that I have brought joy 

to other people in the community 

which has been a difficult 

time for a lot of us, especially 

for those living alone.”

Firefighters donate essential 

goods to struggling families 

• By Bea Gooding 

FIRE AND Emergency 

NZ staff donated dozens of 

essential items last week to 

those facing hardships at the 

Christchurch City Mission. 

Twenty-five bags of nonperishable 

groceries and toys 

were gifted to the mission to 

support the city’s struggling 

communities. 

Fire risk management officer 

Wayne Hamilton said his team 

wanted to give back to the staff 

for hard work they did and 

knew of the struggles food 

banks were currently facing due 

to high demand. 

“It was great to be able to talk 

to them and to put a smile on 

their faces,” he said. 

“We thought it was a great idea 

to give back to the community, 

especially as we have been seeing 

and hearing about all of the hardships 

they’re going through.” 

This is not the first time 

they had assisted the mission, 

having previously workedwith 

them on recovery projects and 

providing reassurance work to 

those affected by the March 15 

mosque attacks. 

GRATEFUL: Wayne Hamilton (middle), Fire and Emergency NZ and Christchurch City 

Mission staff with the donated essential goods. 

They also offered home fire 

safety checks and were looking 

at other ways FENZ staff could 

link with the mission and the 

community. 

City Missioner Matt Mark 

said gestures like this made 

the mission feel like they were 

not alone in their work and 

that people had their back. 

“It’s a good feeling to have, 

especially in these tough 

times,” he said. 

“We always love it when 

community groups and organisations 

come together to support 

our work with struggling 

families because in a practical 

way, it helps us give comfort to 

people who need it.” 

Mr Mark said the donations 

would be included in their 

food boxes and care parcels 

that were made up for families.

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Olive Leaf Extract 

Nature’s Extraordinary 

Immune Support 

As far ago as 1927 Doctors used olive 

leaf to reduce fevers and knock out 

malaria. Scientists have discovered olive 

leaf contains powerful nutrients that 

directly interfere and even destroy nearly 

every type of disease causing microorganisms 

including bacteria, fungi, 

mould, parasites, viruses and even yeast 

infections. As well as this olive leaf has 

immune enhancing benefits by activating 

immune cells that fight infection. For 

these reasons it has become a popular 

tonic herb that can be used to keep the 

immune system strong as well as when 

needed to dramatically speed up recovery 

of many health conditions like coughs, 

colds, flus, pneumonia, tuberculosis, 

herpes, shingles, urinary infections, 

yeast infections, and much more. 

It has also been found beneficial for 

chronic fatigue syndrome, low 

energy levels, exotic and deadly 

tropical diseases, two types of 

leukaemia and even some cancers. 

In many chronic health conditions 

the immune system is run 

down and it is easy to have 

complications that are often 

life threatening. Olive leaf can be 

a safe and very effective option to boost 

the immune system and allow the body to 

have more energy to help heal itself. 

Olive leaf has also been found to be 

an effective cardiovascular tonic helping 

normalise high blood pressure, improve 

cholesterol quality, improve heartbeat 

irregularities, and improve blood flow and 

vascular disorders. 

Olive leaf can also help keep our cells 

healthy as it has be shown to be one of 

nature’s most powerful antioxidants. 

Further information on the amazing 

benefits of olive leaf and how it can be 

effectively used is available from the 

Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s 

Health & Natural Therapy, 101 Seaview 

Road, New Brighton, Phone: 

388-5757. We are always 

happy to help! 

Hundreds of gardening 

gloves donated 

HUNDREDS OF 

gardening gloves have been 

donated to community 

volunteers in Christchurch 

as they eagerly return to 

their gardens. 

Energy company Orion 

made the donation of 300 

gloves to the Canterbury 

Community Gardens 

Association, which supports 

35 gardens in the city. 

New Brighton community 

garden manager 

and CCGA chairwoman 

Catherine O’Neill said 

Covid-19 presented even 

greater hygiene challenges 

to the activity. 

“In the past when new 

volunteers came along to 

help and haven’t brought 

their own gloves, they were 

directed to the store of 

shared gloves,” she said. 

“To make sure we’re not 

passing anything on, now 

we’ll be able to give people 

their own pair of new 

gloves. 

“It’s such a peaceful, 

friendly way to spend a 

couple of hours with other 

people, and now everyone 

can join in without having 

to worry.” 

GIVING BACK: Canterbury Community Gardens 

Association chairwoman Catherine O’Neill at one of 

the organisation’s 35 gardens. PHOTO: SUPPLIED 

Ms O’Neill said they 

would be clearing out 

spent summer crops, 

planting garlic, beans, 

snow peas and much more, 

replenishing the soil with 

compost and mulch. 

“Whether you’re eight or 

80, a community garden 

is a place you can wander 

into and find a place that 

makes you feel at home,” 

she said. 

Orion Connections 

manager Steve Hix, who 

has arranged power connections 

for a number of 

WESTERN NEWS 

community gardens over 

the years organised the 

glove donation by Orion 

with the support of Mitre 

10 Ferrymead. 

“We have a staff community 

fund, and I thought 

this would be a great initiative 

to support, in a practical 

way,” said Mr Hix. 

“It is great to see people 

investing their time in a 

community activity that 

builds sustainability, gets 

everyone together, and 

produces organically 

grown fresh food.”
