City2Surf: Running for kids in 2024
CHILDREN encountering a
challenging road ahead will
benefit from the latest edition of
the iconic Les Mills City2Surf
fun run in March.
Star Media has partnered with
the Cholmondeley Children’s
Centre in Governors Bay, a safe
haven for children aged between
three and 12-years-old.
Established in 1925 as the
Cholmondeley Memorial
Children’s Home, more than
30,000 Canterbury children have
stayed at the facility on a shortterm
respite basis.
A new purpose-built premises
opened in 2015 following the
Canterbury earthquakes.
“It’s a really
good cause,”
said Star
Media regional
manager Steve
McCaughan,
who encouraged
City2Surf
competitors
to donate to
Cholmondeley

McCaughan
when they register for the March
17 event.
“It gets funding to the tune of
about $700,000 a year so they
have a shortfall of about $1.6
million. They rely on fundraising

to be able to operate at full
capacity,” he said.
“Cholmondeley relies on
public funding and you have the
ability to donate through the
website. Your donation can make
the difference between another
child getting a bed for the night.”

Social and serious athletes
tackle the celebrated original
route from the central city to
New Brighton for a second
successive year after earthquake
damage required revised routes
post-2011.
This edition of the South
Island’s biggest fun run is again
spearheaded by a 12km route
from Latimer Square to New
Brighton.
A less taxing 6km route starts
at Bickerton Reserve in Wainoni
– near last year’s starting point at
Avon Park – and also finishes at
Rawhiti Domain.

Time Travelling with a Tortoise
by Ross Welford
Exciting, funny, heartwarming, and mind-bendingly
clever, Time Travelling with a Tortoise is the
extraordinary, adventure-packed sequel to Ross
Welford’s beloved, bestselling debut, Time Travelling
with a Hamster. Al Chaudhury travelled back in time to
save his father’s life.
And it worked – Al’s dad is alive again and life is back to the way
it should be. At least, that’s what Al thinks.
Because when an accident nearly kills Al’s beloved Grandpa Byron, and
forces Al back in time again, this time he leaves someone behind, trapped
in another dimension forever.
And now Al is forced to travel through time once more, not just to rescue
his friend from the past, but also to save his Grandpa Byron’s life… and to
make sure that there will be a future waiting for them all.
It turns out time travel isn’t as simple as Al thought.

THIS BOOK
On the eve of a world war, a forbidden love will blossom in the garden of a
stately home, where one young woman will make a choice that will change
her life forever…
As the storm clouds of war gather, Cordelia seeks refuge in the grounds
of her family estate. Handsome landscaper Isaac has recently arrived to
tend to the gardens, and the connection between him and Cordelia is as
immediate as it is forbidden. Isaac begins to secretly teach her how to
cultivate the gardens, so when he and all the young men are called away
to war, Cordelia takes over. From the battlefields of Europe, Isaac sends
her letters, that give her hope for their future in peacetime. But when
these messages abruptly cease, Cordelia must face up to the worst and
take her future – and the fate of the garden they both loved – into her own
hands…
An epic, sweeping tale of love, war and the strength of the human spirit.
Fans of Lucinda Riley and Kate Morton will be absolutely gripped by this
historical page-turner.
