Elmer Auction
After the trail finishes the Elmers will be auctioned to raise vital funds for Laura Fergusson Brain Injury Trust. If you have sponsored a uniquely designed and decorated Elmer sculpture this will be your chance to adopt your Elmer. Then it can go to its forever home where it can be enjoyed for many years to come!

Did you know that March is Brain Injury Awareness Month?
This trail supported local charity – Laura Fergusson Brain Injury Trust, which is the only South Island provider of wrap-around support for those with brain, spinal, or other complex injuries.
We hope to never need their services, but if someone does, they are there to equip them and their whānau to find new ways of going about life so they can achieve independence, inclusion and quality of life.
Please support the Laura Fergusson Brain Injury Trust by following their work at @laurafergussonbraininjurytrust …
