Year 11 student Mikaela Macdonald is off to Italy in August to represent New Zealand at the World Inline Speedskating competition. Tonight from 5.30pm, Mikaela and her speedskating friends are skating a 24 hour relay at the Tāhunanui Roller Skating Rink to raise money for the trip.

Blair Kiddey from The Breeze Nelson 97.6FM, went down to meet Mikaela and hear more about her trip. You can watch the video here.
