The generosity of Northlanders has again amazed the Cancer Society with its target of $120,000 from the weekend’s Relay for Life in Whangārei well and truly topped.
Charli Timms, Northland regional manager for the Cancer Society, said more than 600 people did laps of Trigg Arena, in Whangārei on Saturday and Sunday for the annual Relay For Life fundraiser.
Timms said the aim of the event was to raise $120,000, but that has already been bettered - it was at $122,000 on Sunday afternoon - with more donations still to come in.
‘’We have well and truly beaten that target. It’s amazing and the people of Northland are just so generous,’’ she said.
