Arthritis Appeal – Friday 2 October

October 2 2009

I hit the streets of Downtown Auckland on Friday as part of the Arthritis Orange Appeal Week. I joined the street appeal and donned the orange vest in a quest to raise funds for those New Zealanders suffering from Arthritis.

I was outside the Downtown Westfield at the bottom of Queen Street, alongside my fellow fundraiser, Margaret (pictured) from Waiheke. Margaret was a real sweety as were the other people there helping out.

Over half a million New Zealanders will be affected by Arthritis in their lifetimes so it is a hugely worthwhile cause and it was very special to be a part of the appeal campaign.
