Rector Clive Rennie prepares to lead the first foray into the weekend's 24-hour Relay for Life. About 35 staff and 15 pupils took part, many of the boys on site for the full 24 hours |
A team of 50 staff and pupils took part in the 2007 Relay for Life at the weekend, raising well in excess of $2,000 for the Otago branch of the Cancer Society.
The relay, where several thousand participants walked, ran or crawled their way around a grass track on the Highlanders’ training ground at Logan Park over a 24 hour period, generated somewhere close to $300,000 for cancer research with all money raised staying in the province.
This year’s event was especially poignant with Otago Boys’ staff and pupils able to celebrate the successful treatment for cancer last year of Rector Clive Rennie and Sue Jones, from the school’s office administration team.
Those involved also remembered former staff and administration members who lost their individual battles with the disease – Peter Warwick (1985), John Adamson (1998), Alan Coldicott (2005) and Heather Spicer (2006).
