Stepping up to make a difference

Year 12 student Erika Wind is taking part in the 10,000 steps challenge to raise money for sufferers of Cerebral Palsy. Erika knows a 5 year old boy called Jack. Jack goes to Omakere school and has cerebral palsy. The money Erika is raising goes towards allowing people like Jack to undertake activities such as Riding For the Disabled. Jack loves the riding as it helps ease his muscles and is allowing him to walk. Erika has already raised over $1000 but I hope the College community can help her raise even more, Lets support her and Jack by donating using the link below. Well done Erika on being such a great role model and thinking of others in our community.
