Wairoa Special School Harbour Bridge Fun Run 2014 – (Readers Digest version run) – Fund Raiser

Dr Anthony Seymour has run, with friends, to raise money for his son’s special school Wairoa, over the past 6 years. Anthony’s son, James, has autism. He has been at the school since 2007. In past years, we have run the Harbour Bridge run (9km), the Bay Run (7km). This year we will do the Harbour Bridge 3.5km Fun Run on Sunday 21/9/2014. Why the “Reader’s Digest” version of the 9km run? As last week’s blog is the story shows that Dr Seymour was not a well man! So for the sake of his health, the 3.5km fun run it is. However, Dave, a friend who ran last year, will do the 9km Harbour Bridge Run. Thanks Dave.
