Running for Ice Hockey - Dunedin U17 Thunder
To help raise money for the U17 Dunedin Thunders team I am running the 10km at the Petone Club 5 bridges run..
Wellington
Our team travels around NZ for our games and all our costs for travel, uniforms, training, ice time and coaching is paid for by the team members or club.
Our team is aiming to raise $10000 to help the club with our costs.
All money (sponsorship) for my run via give a little will go directly to the Ice Hockey Club.

I am 16 years old and based in Wellington, NZ. I have hydrocephalus with a VP shunt in place. Recently this shunt has been causing me issues with severe headaches as its leaning on a nerve - resulting in hospital time and more medications to control the headaches.
I do not allow my health to slow me down too much - and one thing I love to do is play sports.
My favourite sport is Ice Hockey. I am part of the Otago Thunders UI17 rep team. We compete as part of the the national league, playing at our home rink as well as travelling to Queenstown, Christchurch and Auckland.
I have moved to Wellington this year and travel to play with this team. I am not able to join my team mates with most of their fundraising projects. Therefore to help raise funds I have decided to complete a 10km run at the Petone Club 5 bridges run on the 20th August.
I enjoy running, although have not managed much this year due to been ill. This run will be a push for me - and I hope a great way to show my dedication to my Ice Hockey team.
Please support me in this run - all funds received via give-a-little will go directly to Dunedin Ice Hockey.
