Richie McCaw Statue

Thanks to all those who have donated.

We appreciate your thoughtfulness and are honoured that you feel Richie is a great rugby footballer worthy of recognition.

A recent quiz night raised about $5,000 for our cause. Contributions at a large cutout photo of Richie in Kurow continue to bring in a stream of donations.

Kurow is a small town, The residents are very proud that Richie associates with his beginnings here. Your help is appreciated as tributes to a great rugby footballer. A statue in Kurow is a first for footballer in the South Island. A big goal; in line with Richie's achievements.

Richie once modestly quipped to The Press newspaper [Christchurch, Tuesday, 6th December 2015] , ‘I just see myself as an ordinary boy from Kurow who has been able to live a dream…’

We want others to live their dreams. No matter where they come from; it is great to have a role model who shows you can attain greatness if you apply yourself.

Thanks again
