IN BRIE NEWS IN BRIEF NATIONAL APPEAL A HUGE SUCCESS Thanks to all who made our first National Appeal a huge success. With your help we reached 200,000 people, raised $27,000 after costs, and showed New Zealand that a bright future is possible despite the effects of a spinal cord injury or impairment. The funds raised will be used to extend the reach of peer support in New Zealand. GET BEHIND PEOPLE RAISING MONEY FOR THE NZST Russell Simpson is taking on the Hillary Tenzing Everest Marathon 29 May, 2018. $1,525.00 - Amount Donated (as at 1 December 2017) $20,000.00 - Goal Amount 21 Donors His Story... What inspired him to fundraise? I am GM of a large home, community and nursing support provider that offers services to a number of clients who have spinal cord impairments. I feel incredibly fortunate to still have the use of my hands and legs and I want to dedicate my dream of completing the Hillary Tenzing Mt Everest Marathon to improve the lives of those affected by spinal cord injury or impairment. I am also excited to represent our company in support of the NZ Spinal Trust whose values align so well with our own. You can make a difference today in the lives of Kiwis living with a spinal cord injury or impairment (SCI) by supporting my fundraiser.

What inspired her to fundraise? A bad car accident left me with a spinal cord injury. I want to give back to help others experiencing the trauma I went through. I have recovered enough to be able to ride a tricycle and have set a huge goal (for me) to ride from Millers Flat to Lawrence along the Clutha Gold Trail. I’m raising money to help New Zealanders find a bright new future despite living with the effects of a spinal cord injury. I will have to train hard for this, which is good because one of my personal goals is to get my weight below 100kg before the end of the year also. I set off on the ride on December 9th. Please support my training and big ride by making a donation. Thank you! Cheryl. www.nzstfun.org.nz | 13
