Prostate Cancer Awareness Rotorua

💙💙💙

A huge shoutout to Rotorua Lakes Lifestyle Village 💙

They held their own Blue Walk yesterday, with residents coming together and donating in honour of those in their lives who have been touched by prostate cancer.

Together they raised an incredible $400+ for the Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ!!

This is exactly what we love seeing, our community getting behind the cause and helping spread awareness. 💙

Thank you so much and for sending through photos to share.

TOMORROW 💙

The Rotorua Blue Walk is finally here!

Grab the whānau, wear your blue and come walk with us.

📍 Lakefront | 4:30pm registration, 5:30pm walk
💵 $10 adults | $2/koha kids 12 & under
💳 Cash & EFTPOS available

See you there!

739km DONE! 🚴‍♂️💙

Today Jess completed her September cycling challenge, riding 739km in memory of the 739 Kiwi men who lose their lives to prostate cancer each year.

Early mornings, late nights, hours on the bike and plenty of pushing through with jelly legs. We are so bloody proud of her!!

This cause is incredibly close to home after we lost our dad, Daniel, to prostate cancer in December 2024. He was only 62.

Jess has ridden every kilometre to honour Dad, remember the men we’ve lost and raise awareness for the men we don’t want to become part of that number.

If you’d like to support her, every donation goes towards Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ:

Early detection saves lives. Many men have no symptoms, so please tell the men in your life to talk to their GP about getting their PSA checked.

A simple test could save a life. 💙

The daily post wrote up an article about our whanau and the Blue Walk 💙🚶

'The hole they leave doesn’t get smaller; you learn how to live around it.'

Okay… we’ve got some GOODIES! 👀💙
