More support for cancer patient needed

By Frank Neill

An initiative aimed to raise funds to pay for treatment for Wainuiomata’s Claire Candy, who has breast cancer, is in need of much more support.

Claire is a member of Way of Life Fitness and the gymn’s owner Troy Mahupuku has organised a raffle to help pay for her treatment, which is not funded in New Zealand.

The raffle is for a Carol smart bike, valued at $5,199, but so far the raffle has attracted little support, Troy says.

People can enter the online raffle by visiting https://www.wayoflife- fitness.co.nz/.

Entrants will receive a number, which will then go into the draw.

Following the draw, Troy will contact the winner.

These bikes come with Carol’s scientifically proven training regime. The regime takes 8 minutes and 40 seconds three times a week, and is the equivalent of a 45 minute jog five times a week.

The benefits of the Carol regime is that it leads to a 62% decrease in the risk of developing a metabolic disease, a 78% increase in cardiovascular fitness, a 71% decrease in HDL cholesterol, a 78% decrease in triglycerides, a 196% improvement in blood pressure and a 48%
