Hi Team!

It is nearly time for Jianni's 100km run, a fundraiser for Claudia Little and the Purple Heart Foundation.

There is still time to pledge your support for Jianni, little Claudia, and Purple Heart, just pop by the shop, ring us, or drop us a line at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

For those who have not yet heard about Jianni's ambitious undertaking, the Purple Heart Foundation is a non-profit organization devoted to improving the lives of children living with cancer and providing a network of support for their familes. The organization was founded by Mark Little after his daughter Claudia was diagnosed with cancer. For more information please visit http://www.purpleheart.net.nz

Thank you again, everyone, for all of your support!
