Nationwide Pedal for Plunket relay hits final stages
Plunket volunteers and Warehouse staff are nearing the end of a nationwide cycle to raise money for Plunket’s community
services.
Two parallel relays in the South and North Island will finish tomorrow, with events in Invercargill and Wellington to
mark the occasion.

Reinga in the North Island and Port Puponga in the South Island, and has stopped at 88 of New Zealand’s 92 Warehouse
stores.
