Going the extra mile...

Today for wacky hair day we managed to raise over $1000 and as a result the locks had to come off. So for the first time in 9 years I now have a respectable hair cut. As part of our efforts to raise money for Ferndale School we had a couple of students who pledged to support me through my recent traumatic hair removal. Here is a little movie showing the before and after shots:

Raising money for Ferndale special needs School

Burglars have broken into a Christchurch school (Ferndale), a school for students with special needs and stolen thousands of dollars worth of equipment from the students struggling to come to terms with Saturday's earthquake.

So we are going to raise enough money to pay for some of their loss, by having a wacky hair day and a gold coin donation for the school. Mr Chadwick is even going to raise money by cutting off his dreadlocks, which he has had for over 9 years, if we can raise at least $1000. This occasion is going to take place at Muritai School on 24 of September 2010.


We are hoping to raise at least 1000 dollars which will hopefully pay for some of the equipment stolen. We are also hoping people throughout the community will join in and help us get to our mark.

Here is the link to the video created by the herald about the burglary:

Cutting some shapes on the dance floor

Today Muritai School was lucky enough to have the Royal NZ Ballet Company come and perform two shows to the students. The dancers were incredibly talented individuals who put on an amazing display of what it takes to be in the Company. Their flexibility, strength and dancing ability was breath taking. Makes me want to get out my dancing shoes...
