Wheels keep turning for car fundraiser
A total of 64 Coasties got on stationary bikes to take part in a 48-hour charity Spinathon this month.
A Spinathon held recently to raise money for disabled Stanmore Bay man Mark Tainui has raised over $8600.
But more assistance is needed to help Mark, who suffered a stroke seven years ago, maintain his independence. Since the stroke Mark has been working hard, learning how to speak and walk again.
His rehabilitation includes strength work at Anytime Fitness gym in Whangaparāoa. When Mark could not afford to replace his car after it developed serious mechanical issues, the gym organised the Spinathon, hoping to raise enough for another vehicle. Mark’s car is key to an independent life – especially when it comes to being there for his children (HM July 1).
