Day 25 of self isolation

This afternoon I did a 5k run by the lake to raise money for help the heroes. All proceeds go to NHS Charities Together, who’s mission statement is to support the welfare and the wellbeing of NHS staff as they fight COVID-19.

He personally visited Taupo for 12 days in 2002, meeting some of its famous locals including rugby great Colin ‘Pinetree’ Meads.Read more
