A man dedicated to supporting people into an active and healthy lifestyle is May's hero in the 2018 Flaxmere Heroes Calendar.
Josh Kronfeld, who was brought up in Flaxmere, said he was overwhelmed when U-Turn Trust ambassador Henare O'Keefe approached him for the calendar.
"It's nice to be able to give back with it being where I grew up and I think that's the main thing. With grabbing the characters they use from year to year - people come from different areas and move on in the world but there is always a point of starting and Flaxmere was where it was for me."
