Loreto Kirribilli sisters, Sarah Scalercio in Year 8 and her sister Victoria in Year 11, held a fundraising day on 8 May to raise awareness about MND as well as money for research. Sarah said of the day, "My sister Victoria and I organised the fundraiser as it is a charity close to our hearts. Last year our father died from MND and we are determined to make a difference and support this worthy cause. Overall it was an extraordinary day that raised $1,300! A huge thank you to all the Year 8 students who baked, helped sell and collect money, and to Mrs Cooke for helping organise it. Most importantly thank you to the Loreto Kirribilli girls who supported and made the day the success it was." Thank you girls for your wonderful support!
Thank you Sarah and Victoria
