ISSUE 222 Wednesday 26th June 2024
DETERMINED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE Clearview Primary student Zavier Harrison (12) is one very special young lad. He recently organised a fivekilometre school fun run to raise funds for breast cancer. His motivation for this wonderful gesture comes from his mum, Kim, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014. Last year Zavier came up with the idea for a fun run and raised a whopping $1,000 after completing his run around Foster Park with his dad and a close friend, plus a handful of family and friends in support. This year, the enterprising young man decided he wanted to hold the run at Clearview Primary School and raised his goal to $2000 but instead raised more than $5,700! His dad, Dean, says, “We are so extremely proud of Zavier, firstly for coming up with the fundraising idea last year, then secondly for bringing it to fruition.” Zavier completed this year’s run with school principal, Rob Rush, his teachers, and plenty of friends and family – around 40 people participated. He says he wanted to go large and attempt to double last year’s amount. “I had even more reason and motivation this time round after mum was diagnosed for a second time with breast cancer at the end of 2023.” Dean says, “So many amazing people pitched in to help organise the event, participate, and also donate to such a worthy cause, all because this amazing 12year-old wanted to do his little bit to make a difference. Zavier has been inundated with so many messages of support from friends, family, teachers as well as strangers, which has been fantastic.” Zavier’s determination to raise funds for such a serious cause at such a young age speaks volumes about his character. He is determined to make this an annual event and raise as much awareness and support for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ as possible, so watch this space. “I am super proud of everything that we have achieved,” says Zavier, “and so appreciative of everyone pitching in and supporting this worthy cause.”
