The charity, set up in 1963 by Olympic athletics champion Sir Murray Halberg, aims to enhance the lives of physically disabled young New Zealanders by enabling them to participate in active sport and recreation.
Anton, a Massey University Student has Holt-Oram Syndrome which affects the bones in his arms.
Anton has a huge passion for sports and outdoor activities and wants to raise funds for the Halberg Foundation because of the way the charity helped him and other young physically disabled New Zealanders engage in sport and recreation.
