Film Fundraiser

Special Olympics NZ is hosting a movie night on Wednesday 6 November at the Lighthouse Cinema, Petone. Our movie is Ride like a Girl, the story of Michelle Payne and how her dream of winning the Melbourne Cup.

After leaving school at 15 and following family tragedy and her own near-fatal horse fall, her dreams were nearly all but over. But with the love of her dad and brother Stevie, Michelle overcame the odds to achieve the dream. 2015 was the year the dream was realised with Michelle winning the Melbourne Cup.
