The Mauaoathon was so special so much love and so much support. We are so grateful to everyone who supported. It was way beyond what we thought possible. Around 90 people took part and the spirit and support was amazing. We cracked $11k which is such a blessing for the whanau.
We are truly humbled by all your support.
