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 with his 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.”

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. 

“Runners are a community all 

in themselves and it’s great to be 

part of it. 

“The good thing about running 

is that you can be working 

just as hard as someone who 

goes slower or faster than you,

Fundraiser for 

Heart Kids 

• By Bea Gooding 

A NEW fundraiser has been 

established providing crucial 

support for families affected 

by congenital heart defects in 

Canterbury. 

The Big Strides for Brave 

Hearts initiative is a first for 

Heart Kids New Zealand, which 

encourages people to bike, walk, 

run or scooter over a chosen 

distance while raising money for 

heart families. 

Heart Kids in Canterbury 

provide emotional support, 

grants and activities for families 

both in Christchurch and when 

they go to Auckland for surgery 

at Starship Hospital. 

Family support worker Claire 

Sword said everyone from all 

IN NEED: The Heart 

Kids NZ charity 

challenges Kiwis 

to get active while 

raising money 

for children with 

congenital heart 

diseases. 

walks of life should get involved 

as they would be helping to support 

550 families in the region. 

“Getting on board will give 

us the ability to actually provide 

that support,” she said. 

“We had to think outside the 

box because we usually have collection 

days in June, but they’ve 

been cancelled due to Covid-19.” 

The challenge of covering a 

distance, whether it was 8km or 

310km, gave people a chance to 

set goals for themselves for a great 

cause, according to Ms Sword. 

The fundraiser gives the charity 

the means to further provide travel 

and accommodation subsidies, 

host events and put together gift 

packs.

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. 

The Shoe Room is located at Unit 3, 355 Riccarton Road, opposite the Lone Star.

Teddy book to support food banks 


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. 

“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.” 

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. 

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 

JOY: Susan Doherty and her 

daughter Emma were the 

masterminds behind The 

Adventures of Theodore Bear 

and Rudolph. 

and how we as 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.”

Adventures of Theodore Bear and

GIVING BACK: Catherine O’Neill (left), Peggy Kelly of Canterbury Community Gardens 

Association and Orion’s Steve Hix at New Brighton Community Garden. 

Gloves for gardeners 

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.” 

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 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.” 

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.

Nature’s Extraordinary 

Immune Support 

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

City Mission staff with the donated essential goods. 

Firefighters give 

back to community 


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 

worked with them on 

recovery projects and providing 

reassurance work 

to those affected by the 

March 15 mosque attacks. 

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.

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

Kilo life and death inside the secret World 

of the Cocaine Cartels 

by toby Muse 

In this ground-breaking and utterly compelling book, Toby Muse draws 

on 15 years of reporting on the drug war in Colombia, giving readers 

unprecedented access to the entire cocaine supply chain – perfect for 

fans of Narconomics, Killing Pablo and Gomorrah. Join the deadly 

journey of cocaine, from farmer to kingpin. Meet Jose. Jose doesn’t 

see himself as a criminal. He’s just a farmer growing a crop he won’t 

lose money on: coca. This is Fabian. Fabian calls himself a freedom 

fighter. But wars cost money. And transporting drugs is the fastest way 

to raise cash. Tomas runs a factory. But this factory is hidden deep 

in the jungle, and the product is cocaine. And finally, here is Alex. 

Alex decides where the drug goes next: into Europe or the US. And he 

wields the power of life and death over everyone around him.

original artworks, vibrant fit-outs and food that is fresh, colourful 

and tasty have made each and every cafe a success within its community - and also become 

destinations in themselves for people wanting great flavour and good atmosphere. Interspersed 

between the recipes are the stories of each of these cafes - the idea behind them, how their names 

were chosen, and the communities in which they operate. 

Stop Surviving Start Fighting 

by Jazz thornton 

A hard-hitting, thought-provoking account of surviving suicide attempts 

and moving on to a better life, which provides practical help and 

inspiration to anyone affected by depression or suicide. Jazz Thornton first 

attempted to take her own life at the age of 12. Multiple attempts followed 

and she spent time in psychiatric wards and under medical supervision as 

she rode the rollercoaster of depression and anxiety through her teenage 

years - yet the attempts continued. Find out what Jazz learned about 

how her negative thought patterns came to be, and how she turned those 

thoughts - and her life - around. Who and what helped, and what didn’t 

help. The insights she gives will help create greater understanding of those 

grappling with mental illness, and provide support for those around them 

who desperately want to help. Jazz went on to attend film school, and to co-found Voices of Hope, a 

non-profit organisation dedicated to helping those with mental health issues and show them there is 

a way forward. She creates online content to provide hope and help.
