Hi everyone, Coral is busy doing exams at the moment, the pressure is on seeing as she's just had two weeks off school to compete in China. As soon as the exams are over in a week or so she will personally and formally thank all of you for your support.
Hi everyone. Firstly, thank you so much for your kind and generous donations towards Coral's replacement windsurfing gear of which was stolen last week. We've been overwhelmed by your response as we were more focussed on actually getting the gear back than expecting offers of help from friends, family and the community. I am very pleased to announce that Tauranga Police have been successful in negotiating the return of about 75% of Coral's gear, they knew how important it was to Coral and wanted to help a Tauranga girl do her best at representing NZ at the Youth Olympic Games next week. I've checked over the gear at the police station and I'm happy to say most of the important stuff is there with regards the board and sail etc. The approximate value of the other items missing such as windsurfing clothing, harness and spares etc will be around $2,500, some of which I can eventually get on insurance. Therefore, I feel it is only fair that I ask if any of you would like your donation back. This can be done through you contacting the Giveallittle helpdesk directly and your donation should be paid out to you by mid to late September. However, if you are happy for us to keep your donation then this will go towards replacing the missing items as well as going towards her ongoing windsurfing campaign on the RS:X when she returns from China. Thank you again for all your support, you've been fantastic. Chris and Coral.
