Running for fitness becomes global goal<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
THE DESIRE to “lose a few pounds”<br />
after university has taken Jeremy<br />
Duggan all around the world one<br />
fast footstep at a time.<br />
The 33-year-old Christchurch<br />
Hospital physiotherapist and social<br />
runner decided something needed<br />
to change 15 years ago.<br />
“I’d over-indulged in the university<br />
lifestyle and things were<br />
starting to get away from me so I<br />
decided I’d set a goal to complete<br />
the Christchurch Half Marathon<br />
in 2006.<br />
“Came in with a time of 2hr 36sec,<br />
so not bad for a first time effort.”<br />
Duggan, who lives with his wife Jo<br />
and daughter Eleanor, said running<br />
came to him at the right time.<br />
“I played cricket and hockey growing<br />
up.<br />
“Running is a personal thing, you<br />
don’t need to rely on anyone else,<br />
you just get out there and do it.<br />
“Along with going to the gym,<br />
that was the motivation I needed,”<br />
he said.<br />
Since 2006, he has completed full<br />
marathons on four continents, including<br />
Antarctica, and plans to tick off<br />
the remaining three, Asia, North<br />
America and Africa when time and<br />
travel allows.<br />
“I did the London Marathon in<br />
2013, where I dressed up as an All<br />
Black carrying a rugby ball all the<br />
way.<br />
“Two years ago I did Antarctica<br />
in March. That was all layering,” he<br />
said. • Turn to page 2<br />

“A couple of thermals, t-shirts, a<br />
jumper and thick socks with trail<br />
socks and away you went.<br />
“My wife and I did six months<br />
around South America after that,<br />
and I did no training, I thought<br />
the hiking we were doing would be<br />
enough but it wasn’t.<br />
“I did that one in Uruguay in<br />
Montevideo. I met the runners wall<br />
at the 21km halfway mark.<br />
“Then I did Queenstown for the<br />
Australasia leg last year and hit the<br />
wall early in that one too.<br />
“It’s not as flat as many would<br />
expect.”<br />
Duggan said he was also eager<br />
to give back to the running community,<br />
so began volunteering with<br />
Achilles New Zealand’s Christchurch<br />
chapter.<br />
The organisation helps people who<br />
are visually impaired or have other<br />
disabilities the chance to get active<br />
through running.<br />
The group meets every fortnight at<br />
the Antigua Boat Sheds.<br />
Their aim this year was to send a<br />
team to the New York Marathon in<br />
November, which is now in serious<br />
doubt due to the coronavirus outbreak.<br />
“There’s been lots of fundraising<br />
done, so we’ll just see what happens,<br />
but it may be a 2021 goal,” said<br />
Duggan.<br />

“They go up to Wellington for<br />
Round The Bays in February and<br />
they do other events throughout the<br />
year so it’s a great thing, and there’s<br />
some pretty good athletes among<br />
them.”<br />
Duggan said running had taken<br />
him to many great locations and got<br />
him to a point in his life he would<br />
not have believed he could get to at<br />
the start.<br />
“If we rewound the clock 15 years,<br />
I wouldn’t have put myself where I<br />
am now. But it’s been really good.”<br />

in front of the other’<br />
He said being a physio didn’t<br />
mean he was able to resolve<br />
physical ailments any quicker<br />
than the average runner.<br />
“I’m not always one who<br />
will ask for help in that way.<br />
I just keep going. I’m not<br />
always the best as practising<br />
what I preach.”<br />
Duggan said he enjoys his<br />
role helping people regain their<br />
fitness, movement and quality<br />
of life.<br />
“There aren’t many glory<br />
cases. It’s a lot of sprained ankles<br />
after silliness on a night out, or<br />
helping out the older patients<br />
which I do really enjoy.”<br />
“Running is one of the only<br />
sports you can do as an amateur<br />
athlete while travelling the world<br />
and get medals as an adult – as<br />
I say, you don’t need equipment.<br />
I’ve travelled to some amazing<br />
places for half marathons – some<br />
places that don’t attract the<br />
typical tourist like Luxembourg,<br />
Latvia and Terni in Italy.<br />
“I have also run under the<br />
midnight sun in Iceland where<br />
the race started at 10pm, so<br />
runners were coming through<br />
at midnight around the summer<br />
solstice.”<br />
He said events like that he will<br />
remember for a long time.<br />
“Runners are a community all<br />
in themselves and it’s great to be<br />
part of it.<br />
“The good thing about running<br />
is that you can be working<br />
just as hard as someone who<br />
goes slower or faster than you,<br />
PASSION: Jeremy<br />
Duggan running<br />
with his 7-monthold<br />
daughter<br />
Eleanor.<br />
yet you’re going well for who<br />
you are.<br />
“Running doesn’t have to<br />
be about the clock, it’s about<br />
putting one foot in front of the<br />
other and trying to complete an<br />
event.”<br />
Fundraiser for<br />
Heart Kids<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
A NEW fundraiser has been<br />
established providing crucial<br />
support for families affected<br />
by congenital heart defects in<br />
Canterbury.<br />
The Big Strides for Brave<br />
Hearts initiative is a first for<br />
Heart Kids New Zealand, which<br />
encourages people to bike, walk,<br />
run or scooter over a chosen<br />
distance while raising money for<br />
heart families.<br />
Heart Kids in Canterbury<br />
provide emotional support,<br />
grants and activities for families<br />
both in Christchurch and when<br />
they go to Auckland for surgery<br />
at Starship Hospital.<br />
Family support worker Claire<br />
Sword said everyone from all<br />
IN NEED: The Heart<br />
Kids NZ charity<br />
challenges Kiwis<br />
to get active while<br />
raising money<br />
for children with<br />
congenital heart<br />
diseases. <br />
walks of life should get involved<br />
as they would be helping to support<br />
550 families in the region.<br />
“Getting on board will give<br />
us the ability to actually provide<br />
that support,” she said.<br />
“We had to think outside the<br />
box because we usually have collection<br />
days in June, but they’ve<br />
been cancelled due to Covid-19.”<br />
The challenge of covering a<br />
distance, whether it was 8km or<br />
310km, gave people a chance to<br />
set goals for themselves for a great<br />
cause, according to Ms Sword.<br />
The fundraiser gives the charity<br />
the means to further provide travel<br />
and accommodation subsidies,<br />
host events and put together gift<br />
packs.<br />

New winter boots<br />
offer style & comfort<br />
The Shoe Room in Riccarton Road, just across from<br />
the Bush Inn Centre, had only been open a few months<br />
before lockdown required all retail outlets to close, and<br />
now owner Charlotte Russell and her team are excited to<br />
welcome customers back again.<br />
The Mephisto range comes in a range<br />
of funky colours.<br />
“We have a wonderful new shipment of winter<br />
footwear that has just arrived, and we look forward to<br />
showing these styles to our customers,” Charlotte says.<br />
A key feature of the new range is the selection of<br />
elegant ankle boots from several leading brands, all<br />
designed to complement the new season’s fashion<br />
trends. For example, there are the platform ankle boots<br />
from Mephisto in leather and nubuck suede, which are<br />
available in a selection of funky colours, as well as black.<br />
Not only stylish, these Chelsea-style boots offer the<br />
comfort of an air cushion sole.<br />
The Planet range of low-cut ankle boots, also available<br />
in suede and leather, feature a small heel, removeable<br />
insoles for extra comfort and come in a selection of<br />
the new season’s fashion colours. Planet is a ‘green’<br />
company with an environmental philosophy that sees<br />
them planting a tree for every pair of shoes sold.<br />
A new brand being introduced at the Shoe Room this<br />
season is the Australian brand, Klouds. Their range of<br />
stylish court shoes feature seamless stretch leather<br />
tops, so they fit extremely well and are very comfortable.<br />
While the shop was closed the Shoe Room offered<br />
customers an online purchasing option though their<br />
website www.theshoeroom.co.nz. Shoppers have been<br />
invited to browse through the selection online then call<br />
or email the Shoe Room to place their order.<br />
Boots by Earth complement winter<br />
fashion trends.<br />
“By inviting customers to contact us we are offering<br />
a personal service though which we can discuss their<br />
requirements and ensure they get the right fit,” Charlotte<br />
says. “For us, it’s all about the fit, and this service is still<br />
available.”<br />
The Shoe Room is located at Unit 3, 355 Riccarton<br />
Road, opposite the Lone Star. Opening hours are<br />
Monday 10am-5.30pm, Tuesday to Friday 9.30am-<br />
5.30pm, Saturday 10am-4pm and late night by<br />
arrangement.<br />
For customer convenience there is an off-street<br />
parking area behind the shop, with access from Auburn<br />
Avenue. Dedicated Shoe Room parking spaces are<br />
located right by the back door.<br />

Teddy book to support food banks<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
A FAMILY known for their<br />
creative teddy bear displays<br />
during the lockdown are due to<br />
release a book next week while<br />
raising money for Christchurch<br />
food banks.<br />
The adventures of Theodore<br />
Bear and Rudolph brought joy to<br />
the Opawa neighbourhood in the<br />
past few weeks, with the bears<br />
undertaking different outdoor<br />
activities each day.<br />
Whether it was chopping<br />
wood, having a bear picnic,<br />
washing the car or playing board<br />
games, local families loved it so<br />
much that they asked for more –<br />
a book that compiled all of their<br />
adventures in one place.<br />
Opawa resident Susan Doherty<br />
said her daughter, Emma, developed<br />
30 ideas for the setup one<br />
day before the lockdown began;<br />
not satisfied with simply placing<br />
bears by the window.<br />
“I shared Theodore Bear and<br />
Rudolph’s adventures on Facebook<br />
and Instagram. Later I received<br />
messages from people who were by<br />
themselves, feeling isolated, enjoying<br />
the daily posts,” she said.<br />
“It soon became apparent that<br />
this was helping members of my<br />
community, both young and old,<br />
and it was much bigger than two<br />
bears sitting at the gate.”<br />
ADVENTURE: Theodore Bear and Rudolph made daily<br />
appearances over the lockdown, much to the amusement of<br />
the local children. A book based on their exploits will donate all<br />
profits to Christchurch City Mission’s food bank.<br />
Because people had expressed<br />
an interest, the idea for the book<br />
came to life and it was now in its<br />
final stages of printing.<br />
Mrs Doherty and her daughter<br />
planned to donate all profits<br />
from the book’s sales to the<br />
Christchurch City Mission Foodbank.<br />
“I think that majority of people<br />
purchasing the book will use it as<br />
a keepsake of this period of time<br />
JOY: Susan Doherty and her<br />
daughter Emma were the<br />
masterminds behind The<br />
Adventures of Theodore Bear<br />
and Rudolph.<br />
and how we as a community got<br />
through the lockdown,” she said.<br />
In addition to the book,<br />
Theodore Bear was also featured<br />
on postage stamps this month<br />
because his photo was one of six<br />
that won New Zealand <strong>Post</strong>’s<br />
Share your Bear competition.<br />
Said Mrs Doherty: “I feel<br />
happy that I have brought joy to<br />
other people in the community<br />
which has been a difficult time<br />
for a lot of us, especially for those<br />
living alone.”<br />

GIVING BACK: Catherine O’Neill (left), Peggy Kelly of Canterbury Community Gardens<br />
Association and Orion’s Steve Hix at New Brighton Community Garden.<br />
Gloves for gardeners<br />
HUNDREDS OF gardening<br />
gloves have been donated to<br />
community volunteers in<br />
Christchurch as they eagerly<br />
return to their gardens.<br />
Energy company Orion<br />
made the donation of 300<br />
gloves to the Canterbury<br />
Community Gardens<br />
Association, which supports<br />
35 gardens in the city.<br />
New Brighton community<br />
garden manager and CCGA<br />
chairwoman Catherine O’Neill<br />
said Covid-19 presented even<br />
greater hygiene challenges to the<br />
activity.<br />
“In the past when new volunteers<br />
came along to help and<br />
haven’t brought their own gloves,<br />
they were directed to the store of<br />
shared gloves,” she said.<br />
“To make sure we’re not passing<br />
anything on, now we’ll be<br />
able to give people their own pair<br />
of new gloves.<br />
“It’s such a peaceful, friendly<br />
way to spend a couple of hours<br />
with other people, and now everyone<br />
can join in without having<br />
to worry.”<br />
Ms O’Neill said they would<br />
be clearing out spent summer<br />
crops, planting garlic, beans,<br />
snow peas and much more, replenishing<br />
the soil with compost<br />
and mulch.<br />
“Whether you’re eight or 80, a<br />
community garden is a place you<br />
can wander into and find a place<br />
that makes you feel at home,” she<br />
said.<br />
Orion Connections manager<br />
Steve Hix, who has arranged<br />
power connections for a number<br />
of community gardens over the<br />
years organised the glove donation<br />
by Orion with the support<br />
of Mitre 10 Ferrymead.<br />
“We have a staff community<br />
fund, and I thought this would<br />
be a great initiative to support, in<br />
a practical way,” said Mr Hix.<br />
“It is great to see people<br />
investing their time in a<br />
community activity that<br />
builds sustainability, gets<br />
everyone together, and<br />
produces organically grown<br />
fresh food.”<br />

A NEW online book<br />
programme has been set up<br />
with older Cantabrians in mind,<br />
aiming to maintain social<br />
interaction with others while<br />
physically distanced.<br />
Campfire - Stories Read Aloud<br />
for Adults was created by the<br />
city council’s libraries staff,<br />
featuring a fresh chapter read<br />
by librarians from a book every<br />
Wednesday and Friday.<br />
City council head of libraries<br />
and information Carolyn<br />
Robertson said library staff<br />
produced the programme with<br />
“our older adult community in<br />
mind and in collaboration with<br />
Age Concern.”<br />
“It is a story time for seniors<br />
as we help ensure that our older<br />
library users remain engaged<br />
during the lockdown,” she said.<br />
“We believe Campfire can<br />
boost well-being for older adults<br />
and bring a fresh face – and<br />
voice – to their day. They can<br />
watch and listen to our librarians<br />
as they read aloud.<br />
Ms Robertson said for many<br />
older people who have enjoyed<br />
books, listening to another voice<br />
can bring comfort in connection.<br />
“Some may have also lost the<br />
ability to read because of poor<br />
eyesight or physical impairments.<br />
We want to hold on to<br />
that social interaction and love<br />
of books.”<br />
Age Concern Canterbury<br />
chief executive Simon Templeton<br />
has welcomed the story time<br />
programme, describing Campfire<br />
as “a great initiative.”<br />
“Older people are often avid<br />
readers, so any programme that<br />
enables people to stay connected<br />
with their library, with others<br />
and with reading is great,” Mr<br />
Templeton said.<br />
“Some specific groups will<br />
benefit, including those with<br />
vision impairment, dexterity<br />
issues, or the housebound. I<br />
think this type of programme<br />
will grow in popularity as the<br />
population ages.<br />
“I see it as a daily part of<br />
residential care therapy for rest<br />
home residents, and the means<br />
to have a ‘book club’ for those<br />
who can’t read.<br />
“While many older people do<br />
not use the internet, there is a<br />
large number who do – and this<br />
is growing,” he said.<br />
Anyone can access Campfire<br />
via the libraries’ website.<br />

Olive Leaf Extract<br />
Nature’s Extraordinary<br />
Immune Support<br />
GRATEFUL: Wayne Hamilton (middle), Fire and Emergency NZ and Christchurch<br />
City Mission staff with the donated essential goods.<br />
Firefighters give<br />
back to community<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
FIRE AND Emergency<br />
NZ staff donated dozens<br />
of essential items last week<br />
to those facing hardships<br />
at the Christchurch City<br />
Mission.<br />
Twenty-five bags of nonperishable<br />
groceries and<br />
toys were gifted to the mission<br />
to support the city’s<br />
struggling communities.<br />
Fire risk management officer<br />
Wayne Hamilton said<br />
his team wanted to give back<br />
to the staff for hard work<br />
they did and knew of the<br />
struggles food banks were<br />
currently facing due to high<br />
demand.<br />
“It was great to be able to<br />
talk to them and to put a<br />
smile on their faces,” he said.<br />
“We thought it was a<br />
great idea to give back to<br />
the community, especially<br />
as we have been seeing and<br />
hearing about all of the<br />
hardships they’re going<br />
through.”<br />
This is not the first<br />
time they had assisted the<br />
mission, having previously<br />
worked with them on<br />
recovery projects and providing<br />
reassurance work<br />
to those affected by the<br />
March 15 mosque attacks.<br />
They also offered home<br />
fire safety checks and were<br />
looking at other ways<br />
FENZ staff could link with<br />
the mission and the community.<br />
City Missioner Matt<br />
Mark said gestures like this<br />
made the mission feel like<br />
they were not alone in their<br />
work and that people had<br />
their back.<br />
“It’s a good feeling to<br />
have, especially in these<br />
tough times,” he said.<br />
“We always love it when<br />
community groups and organisations<br />
come together<br />
to support our work with<br />
struggling families because<br />
in a practical way, it helps<br />
us give comfort to people<br />
who need it.”<br />
Mr Mark said the<br />
donations would be<br />
included in their food<br />
boxes and care parcels that<br />
were made up for families.<br />

will be finalised before July 1.<br />
The 2018-20<strong>28</strong> Long Term<br />
Plan also predicts a 50 per cent<br />
rates increase over 10 years.<br />
Said Cr MacDonald: “In<br />

As far ago as 1927 Doctors used olive<br />
leaf to reduce fevers and knock out<br />
malaria. Scientists have discovered olive<br />
leaf contains powerful nutrients that<br />
directly interfere and even destroy nearly<br />
every type of disease causing microorganisms<br />
including bacteria, fungi,<br />
mould, parasites, viruses and even yeast<br />
infections. As well as this olive leaf has<br />
immune enhancing benefits by activating<br />
immune cells that fight infection. For<br />
these reasons it has become a popular<br />
tonic herb that can be used to keep the<br />
immune system strong as well as when<br />
needed to dramatically speed up recovery<br />
of many health conditions like coughs,<br />
colds, flus, pneumonia, tuberculosis,<br />
herpes, shingles, urinary infections,<br />
yeast infections, and much more.<br />
It has also been found beneficial for<br />
chronic fatigue syndrome, low<br />
energy levels, exotic and deadly<br />
tropical diseases, two types of<br />
leukaemia and even some cancers.<br />
In many chronic health conditions<br />
the immune system is run<br />
down and it is easy to have<br />
complications that are often<br />
life threatening. Olive leaf can be<br />
a safe and very effective option to boost<br />
the immune system and allow the body to<br />

of the Cocaine Cartels<br />
by toby Muse<br />
In this ground-breaking and utterly compelling book, Toby Muse draws<br />
on 15 years of reporting on the drug war in Colombia, giving readers<br />
unprecedented access to the entire cocaine supply chain – perfect for<br />
fans of Narconomics, Killing Pablo and Gomorrah. Join the deadly<br />
journey of cocaine, from farmer to kingpin. Meet Jose. Jose doesn’t<br />
see himself as a criminal. He’s just a farmer growing a crop he won’t<br />
lose money on: coca. This is Fabian. Fabian calls himself a freedom<br />
fighter. But wars cost money. And transporting drugs is the fastest way<br />
to raise cash. Tomas runs a factory. But this factory is hidden deep<br />
in the jungle, and the product is cocaine. And finally, here is Alex.<br />
Alex decides where the drug goes next: into Europe or the US. And he<br />
wields the power of life and death over everyone around him.<br />

Feed Me Feed Me<br />
by Fran Mazza<br />
Delicious and accessible recipes from the team that put together a<br />
series of successful and hip cafes around Auckland. Fran Mazza is<br />
a half-Italian pastry chef, with a flair for design. She is also a hardworking<br />
mother of three children, and knows the time limitations<br />
that operate in most modern households. This book offers over<br />
100 great recipes for people who enjoy tasty food that can be<br />
cooked easily with readily available ingredients. Together, Fran and<br />
her husband Aaron Carson have been the masterminds behind a<br />
series of highly popular Auckland cafes, scattered around the city<br />
and suburbs - from Winona Forever and Fang in Parnell, to Major<br />
Tom in Albany and Just Like Martha in Three Kings, their trademark<br />
original artworks, vibrant fit-outs and food that is fresh, colourful<br />
and tasty have made each and every cafe a success within its community - and also become<br />
destinations in themselves for people wanting great flavour and good atmosphere. Interspersed<br />
between the recipes are the stories of each of these cafes - the idea behind them, how their names<br />
were chosen, and the communities in which they operate.<br />
Stop Surviving Start Fighting<br />
by Jazz thornton<br />
A hard-hitting, thought-provoking account of surviving suicide attempts<br />
and moving on to a better life, which provides practical help and<br />
inspiration to anyone affected by depression or suicide. Jazz Thornton first<br />
attempted to take her own life at the age of 12. Multiple attempts followed<br />
and she spent time in psychiatric wards and under medical supervision as<br />
she rode the rollercoaster of depression and anxiety through her teenage<br />
years - yet the attempts continued. Find out what Jazz learned about<br />
how her negative thought patterns came to be, and how she turned those<br />
thoughts - and her life - around. Who and what helped, and what didn’t<br />
help. The insights she gives will help create greater understanding of those<br />
grappling with mental illness, and provide support for those around them<br />
who desperately want to help. Jazz went on to attend film school, and to co-found Voices of Hope, a<br />
non-profit organisation dedicated to helping those with mental health issues and show them there is<br />
a way forward. She creates online content to provide hope and help.<br />
