Dr Kate Clarke

"I ride for fun. I ride because it's actually faster to commute that way through inner city Wellington.
I'd like more and more places where it's safe for me to ride with my 11 year old on his own bike, because the long term health implications of having a fit and active body is just so very very precious.
We know that physical activity decreases the chance of getting cancer and we know that those patients that have cancer, that stay active, stay alive and stay well longer.
So I'm calling to the Council to continue doing what you're doing."
