Long days ahead for cyclists
The team of cyclists is set to arrive in Taranaki on Thursday, as part of a health promotion initiative.
The group will host a series of events at four key locations around Taranaki Maunga, offering free HPV testing for women and sharing vital information on cervical and prostate cancer.
The campaign highlights the importance of early screening in combating these cancers, aiming to raise awareness and encourage proactive health measures within the community.
These events are organised in collaboration with Taranaki health and social services organisation Tui Ora, which will provide a mobile health clinic to support the initiative.
The ‘Ride for Talei’ continues to honour Morrison’s legacy, promoting health awareness and encouraging proactive health measures within the community.
Flavell said if Talei was here today she would be proud of the efforts the campaign has done on cancer awareness.
“It started with Talei; her family are here and has been attached to this program since before the attention of the nation was on to this campaign,
“I know she will be happy and humbled to have her name mentioned within teams to this day,”
