Meet Annabelle 💛 At 13, she loves reading, biking, building LEGO and spending time with her animals. After being diagnosed with cancer, she thought riding a bike was no longer possible - until the Halberg Activity Fund helped her get a trike 🛞⚡

Now, Annabelle is back to enjoying bike rides with her family, taking her dog Archie for walks, and even featured on Kea Kids News! Her trike has given her freedom, confidence, and new adventures 🤩

Inclusion in Action ⛷️❄️ We're so thrilled to have supported Damian's incredible skiing journey through the Halberg Activity Fund. Over three days with NZSKI Adaptive, Damian made amazing progress - growing in both skill and confidence.

With the support of Sheena and her awesome team, he tackled slopes he never thought possible and discovered a love for skiing that will stay with him for life. We're proud to help make experiences like this possible - opening up opportunities and breaking barriers through sport!
