Rangiora residents take the plunge to support stroke victims
North Cantabrians took the plunge to raise $11,000 to support stroke victims in our community.
The annual Charles Upham Big Splash was held at the Rangiora RSA Club last month, raising funds for the Rangiora Stroke Club.
Rangiora Promotions spokeswoman Belinda Topp said participants were encouraged to gather donations and sponsorship before "taking the plunge" in to a pool of cold water in the middle of winter.
"We are thrilled with the outcome of this year's Charles Upham Big Splash as we achieved exactly what we set out to – a much larger amount raised for the club and further awareness," she said.
