At today's Chaplain's assembly Georgia (Year 12) and Penny (Year 13) gave a presentation about Penny's mum's journey with Ovarian Cancer. Emma Favel, a Marsden Old Girl, was only 52 years old when she passed away last year. At her funeral her family announced their goal to run the New York Marathon in her honour. 'Team Emma' would love your support, they want to raise $100,000 to help educate women and GPs on the signs of ovarian cancer. Please visit their Givealittle page. Every dollar raised will be donated to New Zealand's Cure Our Ovarian Cancer. 22 runners representing 'Team Emma' will stride through New York on 5 November 2023 and we wish them all the very best. Godspeed and kia kaha marathoners! https://givealittle.co.nz/fundraiser/team-emmas-mission-ovarian-cancer-survival
