25.01.2022 Maroochy North Shore Lions invite you, your family and friends to ‘Lap the Map’ this Saturday, 14th November 2020, from 9am to 11am. Lions across the country are hosting family friendly walks to promote healthy lifestyle and raise awareness of the Diabetes epidemic in Australia. Remember to share and invite your friends. Clubs will be reporting the length of their ‘Lap the Map’ walks and we are aiming to move a combined distance that exceeds Australia’s circumference (25,760... kms). You will enjoy a great morning out and participate in a wonderful opportunity to benefit your community and raise awareness around how we can help stop the spread of diabetes nationally. We also encourage attendees to post photos or videos participating in Lap the Map walks and use the hashtag #Lionslapthemap to help spread the message to as many people as possible. ‘Lap the Map’ is one important part of our overall mission to reduce the prevalence of diabetes in Australia this year. Type 2 Diabetes represents 90% of all cases of diabetes, and can be prevented or delayed in more than half of these cases through making healthy lifestyle choices: Regular physical activity Maintaining a healthy weight Making healthy food choices Managing blood pressure Managing cholesterol levels Not smoking. It doesn’t matter how far you walk or run, it’s about being involved, getting active and moving together on this critical national project. Fast facts: Diabetes is recognised as the world’s fastest growing chronic condition. One in 11 adults has diabetes (415 million) 12 per cent of global health expenditure is spent on diabetes (USD$673 billion) Every six seconds a person dies from diabetes (5.0 million deaths).

18.01.2022 Mark, from Maroochydore Neighbourhood Centre, enlightened Club members about homelessness here on the coast. He shared his passion to ensure their plight isn’t forgotten on the Sunshine Coast, where our statistics show the coast has the third highest rental stress in Australia, which exacerbates problems for our homeless, not one we would really like to boast about. Our club members were extremely interested in the sleepbus Mark has been working towards to gain funds to bring... one to the coast so our vulnerable community have a safe place to sleep, as sleep deprivation is a huge problem for this section of our community. We were surprised to hear many tradies and professionals actually make up a number of our homeless community. If you can help with supporting this incredible project, or The Neighbourhood Centre, feel free to reach out and we can put you in touch with Mark. Remarkable man doing a remarkable job. See more
