Muriwai schoolboy, 11, runs fundraising marathon for cyclone-affected classmates
Morning Neighbours!
An 11-year-old Muriwai local, Josh West, is running a marathon over the course of a week to fundraise for his classmates who lost their toys and school supplies during Cyclone Gabrielle.
With the help of his Mum, Claire, and their dog, Tiny, he has been putting in 5km every morning, before rushing back home to make the school bus.
