The rider, Ian McMichael, who is a community chemist, an Asthma Waikato Board member and an asthmatic, decided on a personal cru- sade to visit every pharmacy in the Waikato in six days of bike-riding. He had along with him his mate Sailor the Pufferfish — The Asthma Champion. There are more than 80 pharmacies in the region, including four in Te Awa- mutu. Mr McMichael averaged 120km a day on his bike. ‘‘Someone needs to do something to raise awareness and funds to help educate the 32,000 kids, their caregivers and the 41,000 adults in the Wai- kato with asthma,’’ he says.

TC100712SP10C NEW Paul Harris Fellow David Samuel and his wife Nicky at the Te Awamutu Rotary change-over and award night.

Rotary’s highest award — a Paul Harris Fellowship — has been presented to Te Awamutu Rotarian David Samuel, an award he says was ‘‘a total surprise’’. ‘‘I’m a rather new boy in Rotary compared to many members,’’ says Mr Samuel. ‘‘I’ve only been a member for the past nine years.’’ He says he ‘‘got the spark to become a Rotarian’’ when he was just 18 years old and boarding with a family in Palmerston North. The family included a boy of his own age, and Mr Samuel was invited to accompany the boy to a father-and- son evening at the local Rotary Club. ‘‘His father, and the club, impressed me with what they did and how they seemed to be always raising money for some cause or other.’’ Mr Samuel, a financial adviser with Goldridge Wealth Manage- ment and who has lived in Te Awamutu for the past 30 years, says about a decade ago he decided to join the organisation, so he asked if he could, ‘‘and I was welcomed into the club, because I was fairly young and it helped lower the average age’’.
