Trying to keep up with 12-year-old Fairfield School student Hannah Jones is enough to make anyone tired.
She plays netball, touch rugby, Rippa rugby (a non-contact version of the game), does athletics, is in the choir and, oh yes, also finds time to be a house captain at the Dunedin school.
But it was so nearly a different story for the year eight pupil: Diagnosed with lymphoma cancer almost 18 months ago, Hannah has since spent months in hospital and undergone six courses of chemotherapy in battling the disease.
Fortunately she's on the road to recovery, is back at school full-time and is buzzed at being with all her friends again. But yesterday's visit to Fairfield School by rugby legend Richie McCaw might have given her the biggest thrill of all.
"It was really exciting," she says. "I like rugby and especially like watching the Highlanders (the Dunedin-based Super Rugby team) although I don't like tackling rugby."
McCaw helicoptered in to the school to make a special delivery of milk, part of a high-flying promotion celebrating the fifth anniversary of the Fonterra Milk for Schools programme. Fairfield School, which has a roll of 408, was the fourth primary school to receive a visit from McCaw www.richiesmilkrun.co.nz.
Hannah's mother Lea was so taken with the support from the school throughout her daughter's illness, she penned a letter nominating the school for a visit from McCaw.
"Hannah was diagnosed in November 2016 after complaining of being breathless," says Lea. "Her face was a little puffy and she said she had pain in her heart, so we rushed her to the hospital emergency department.
"Within 24 hours she was flown to Christchurch Hospital where she remained for four months while beginning the chemotherapy treatment.
"It was heartbreaking, but the support from the school was amazing. The day she was diagnosed I called her teacher who was in tears, but they organised her best friends to go to Christchurch to visit, they ran a disco to raise money for us, we received hundreds of beautiful hand-made cards, people went and mowed our lawns.
"We literally had 400 families supporting us and I don't know how to thank them."
But back to all those activities Hannah likes to do; Lea admits she did wonder whether she should be doing so much.
"Her answer to me was 'you never know when this thing might come back, so I'm going to do all I can while I can'."
