Donna Holder, Carrie Wilson, and Rhonda Henderson are members of the Julie’s People Relay for Life team. They will be participating in memory of Donna’s sister Julie MacDonell.
A relay event which will see participants walking and running for 12 hours throughout the night, will carry the message that cancer doesn t stop, and neither should we. The Marlborough Relay for Life event is to be held at the A&P Park in March, and is the main fundraiser of the Cancer Society for the support of their work. “We’re encouraging teams to register now to join us for this inspiring event, that provides a forum to celebrate cancer survivors and their carers, remember loved one s lost to cancer, and helps fight back by fundraising to provide our local cancer information and support services,” said Marlborough Cancer Society manager Felicity Spencer.
Fire engulfed the Forum building in Blenheim’s CBD on Waitangi Day last year.
A year after the devastating fire which tore through the Forum building in Blenheim s CBD on Waitangi Day, most of those affected have “risen from the ashes” and are doing better than ever. Building owner Toni Gillan this week praised the tenants and others involved in the long recovery. “This was probably one of the biggest fires in the CBD in a long time, and the costs are probably close to $1.5 million,” she said. “The tenants have been amazing. They’ve had to put up with so much. They had a fire, then they had Covid, and then because of Covid we weren’t able to get in there and remediate as quick as we could have.”
