Upfront
A marathon fundraiser In September, a team from Diabetes NZ Rotorua Branch entered the Rotorua Marathon to raise money for Diabetes NZ on the everydayhero.com platform. Together, they raised more than $4,000. Rotorua Branch co-ordinator Karen Reed trained hard for the event and entered it to celebrate her 40th aniversary with type 1 diabetes. Asked how she felt the morning after the marathon, she replied, “Sore!” Congratulations, everyone, and thank you for this incredible effort. Karen and fellow team member Nancy Farmer wait at the starting line to begin the marathon. Inset: The duo makes it across the finish line.
