Nikki Ross - Drop Your Boss 2020

I have known Dan since I was a teenager and his passion for his work is inspiring and admirable. I manage The Hair Hut Papamoa in Fashion Island, and have been in the industry for 17 years and know I owe much of my success to the lessons I learnt in my own childhood.

At the Graeme Dingle Foundation they believe "what you have on the inside is greater than any obstacle you may face". In the spirit of that ethos, I am making the leap, 10,000 feet out of a plane, to help raise money towards the incredible work the foundation does here in our own community.

The Graeme Dingle Foundation run Project K, Kiwi Can, and Stars; reaching over 3,500 young people in the Bay of Plenty. These are all proven and successful school-based programmes that aim to inspire young people to reach their full potential by helping to build their self-esteem, promote good values and teach valuable life, education and health skills.

We are new to the Graeme Dingle Foundation but are so excited to support the amazing work and opportunities they provide for our future leaders.

I'm more than happy to throw myself out of a plane if it helps one, two or twenty children as I believe, like Graeme Dingle Foundation Bay of Plenty, that every child deserves the greatest start to a beautiful, bright future. I am nervous but excited to make this jump, and to continue my involvement with the foundation in the future as a mentor.

Help me support this critical work and donate to my skydive. Every bit helps!
