Neville Paul - Fundraising for a memorial seat and athlete support
A tribute to Nev, a legend who created legends and fine men over a lifetime of work. Funds for a place to rest after training.
Newtown, Wellington
Neville was a legend of the Wellington College and Athletics community. He poured decades of work into creating fine young men who challenged themselves to accomplish feats beyond what they believed they could. In his name we are looking to raise funds for a seat. Ideally at the Track or at Wellington College where people can sit and rest after a hard session! Any additional funds raised will go to help future athletes or an award for athletes showing the sort of leadership qualities that Nev tried to create in all he came in contact with. Heres to you Nev!
Ben Ruthe's involvement (page creator)
Athlete, student and great mate for 32 years. I thought it was about running but it never was. Thanks for changing lives Nev.
Use of funds
We hope to get approval to build a seat to rest on at Newtown Park overlooking the track or Wellington College. Additional funds will go to Wellington College to help future young athletes and an award for boys displaying the leadership qualities Nev would have been proud of.
