We are just 1 week away from the big race! Buttttttt we are short of raising funds to shave Rammys head 😬

We are over the moon with the $95 currently raised at time of this post! Means we need to raise at least $355 more to give him a slick shave 😯

So able to give a dollar or two? All going towards mens mental health 😍

No matter what the race is happening, even if Hamish has claimed he might pull a hammy 😅

" We are bachelor of Social Services students running a period product collection to support Dunedin Whānau Refuge. Our aim is to help increase awareness and access to essential period products and other barriers to access. We are also providing information about menstrual health and reusable options to support informed choice.
We are collecting any period products and all will be donated to Dunedin Whānau Refuge to support people who maybe experiencing family violence or other barriers to access.
For more information scan the QR code on the poster and we will have collection stations located in H, G, F, and L block. Alternatively we will have a table set up in the hub on Tuesday 13th and Wednesday 14th "
