ROCCO'S STAIR-ATHON --- 5000 STAIR STEPS!!💣

Rocco is a 9 year old boy with cerebral palsy. In May 2024, Rocco underwent SDR (Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy) surgery in America. This enabled him to walk again without having to use a walker and he can now participate in sports such as basketball and the Weetbix Triathlon. He is currently able to walk without aides 🏆

Rocco has gone from strength to strength and embraces any challenge; he is a go-getter.

He is keen to raise funds for Disability Sport and Recreation Hawke's Bay and to do this, he has set himself the challenge of climbing 5000 stair steps in his ultra stair-athon! Funds raised will go to help get the Hawke's Bay Halberg team to the Halberg games in Auckland. If funds allow, securing hire for a basketball facility, is also on the list; Rocco is a massive basketball nut!

With the help of his amazing family and support network, Rocco is aiming to 'step' the majority of the stair-athon challenge before the 12 of September. On the 12 of September, Rocco will complete his challenge of 5000 steps at Mclean Park with the support of the Disability and Recreation HB group present.

Please support this immense effort by sponsoring this incredible dude. Go Rocco, you've got this!!
