This was the school’s eighth Run For A Life event, in which students run across the South Island to raise money for CanTeen. Event organiser Rachel Pitcaithly said the run aimed to not only raise money for young cancer victims, but also raise awareness. “There’s so many of us that have been affected by cancer in different ways, shapes and forms,” she said. “CanTeen have become real family members to us. What is great is that they look after teenagers with cancer, but they also look after teenagers who might have a sibling or parent they’ve lost to cancer – and unfortunately that’s a few of our boys.” Run For A Life involved groups of students running about 5km at a time in relay-style, with each student covering about 25km a day READY, SET, GO: About 160 St Bede’s College students started a journey across the South Island on Wednesday in a bid to raise money for CanTeen. for five days. “The idea was to do something really hard to give us a look into what it must be like having cancer as part of your everyday life.” The school had raised more than $80,000 by the time the run kicked off on Wednesday.

Local News Now Resolving community board disputes costs ratepayers •From page 1 Riccarton Ward board member Catherine Chu did not elaborate on the nature of the sessions but said it was good for the board to acknowledge that they had differences. “We’re all there for the same purpose, which is to represent our community. We’ve got different views on how we execute that, and that’s a reason why we’re a board of nine people. “It’s difficult to do that efficiently and as effectively as possible if there are disputes. So it’s good that we acknowledged we had some problems,” Ms Chu said. She said the board is now much stronger together and the disputes are in the past. “I think the meetings have been run very effectively by Mike Mora and Helen Broughton as the deputy,” Ms Chu said. Another cause of disagreement last month, has now been resolved, Mr Mora said.

Mr Mora said board members agreed to him deputising for them, but he chose not to as he was confident of the outcome.
