Sarah Hosken
Kia ora, Ngati Tuwharetoa, Ngati Kahungunu. I read in one of my running books you should always challenge yourself....so here I am. It's scary and yet I'm privileged to be part of this amazing fundraiser for Life Education Trust EBOP.
I have lived here in Whakatane for 7 years. And am 2IC at Bed Bath & Beyond. I have competed in many running events, including the Rotorua Marathon, 100k cycle events, 2 triathlons, Motu challenge and Oxfam 100k!
I love my spin classes and have been doing waka ama for over 2 years, of which I also love doing. I have 2 awesome sons and daughter-in-laws and 5 beautiful mokopuna. So now here I am, ready for another challenge...lets go!
Glenn Van Asselt
Glenn is born and bred Whakatāne local and local business owner.
I own Glenns Glass & Aluminium. I'm not a dancer and I have two left feet, but I'm looking forward to getting up on stage.
Sarah & Glenn will be dancing the Viennese Waltz, a ballroom dance, originated in the 18th century in Vienna, Austria. In contrast to the traditional Smooth Waltz, the Viennese Waltz is faster in nature (approximately twice as many beats per minute). Make sure you have your tickets to witness this glamorous couple master what was once named the "Forbidden dance!
