Thank you to the students and teachers at James Sheahan Catholic High School, Orange. Our local ambassador Nicole attended a school assembly for the recent cheque presentation. The student representative coordinator Winston West told us "At the beginning of each year, the SRC decides on a local, national and international charity to raise money for during the year. The national charity that they decided upon was MND NSW. As a group, we decided to hold a 'mufty' day where students wore blue to support MND and brought in a donation to go towards research. As a school community, we have many families who are coping with MND and so we thought it was a very relevant and important cause to raise the money for. As a school we raised $1430 which has now been donated to MND NSW."
