Auctioning Off Big Hugs For Endometriosis

TVNZ Personalities Support Those With Endometriosis, By Auctioning Off Big Hugs

High prole members of the TVNZ team are auctioning hugs as
part of March Endometriosis Awareness Month, supporting Endometriosis
New Zealand and all Kiwi sufferers of the silent epidemic.
Ever wanted to just hug Tamati Coffey or the cute Jack Tame?
How about Mark Sainsbury, Greg Boyed or Neil Waka? Then
there are TVNZ’s gorgeous presenters Pippa Wetzell, Karen Olsen,
Renee Wright and Toni Street!

Well, now is your chance because the TVNZ personalities have
joined the Big Hug, an auction on www.sella.co.nz during March
to raise funds and awareness of Endometriosis in New Zealand.
“I’m all about hugs!” says Breakfast’s Tamati Coffey; while TV1
News presenter Greg Boyed promises to front up ‘with my hugging
action!’ Each auction winner will also receive a tour of TVNZ in
Auckland with 20/20 and One News presenter Miriama Kamo.

“This is fun,” says Miriama. “It’s an opportunity for New Zealanders
to support a fantastic cause and get a Big Hug for their
efforts from some bighearted stars!” she says. “I’m really looking
forward to taking each successful bidder into TVNZ to meet

their favourite presenter and get their Big Hug.”

Not only are Big Hug’s on offer, but The Big Hug auction
includes other fabulous items. Want new wheels? There is a
2009 SmartCar for a $1 reserve, a walk-on on NZ’s favourite
soap Shortland Street and a singing lesson with the beautiful
Kirsten Morell, former lead singer of Goldenhorse, along with sporting
memorabilia, fashion packages and celebrity experiences.

WHAT IS ENDOMETRIOSIS?
Endometriosis (pronounced ‘end-oh-me-tree-oh-sis’) occurs when
tissue very similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is found in
places that it shouldn’t be outside the uterus. It’s an often debilitating
condition affecting thousands of NZ women and their families.
