USO-“UNDERSTANDING-STRENGTHENING-OVERCOMING”
On October 13th – 26th, 2012, a group of 10 Pacific Island and Maori men including our own club member, Kelly Lawton, started their journey at Cape Reinga to cycle south on a mission to ride the length of the country to raise cancer awareness for Pacific Island and Maori men who feature poorly in the statistics. While they realise their message applies to all men, Get Checked!, Exercise Regularly, and Make Healthy choices. With the support of Cancer Society NZ they are holding community fono/hui following the end of their days riding to engage with our pacific island and maori community along the way.
