National Young Leaders Day

On Monday 14 May, the Term 2 Councillors went to National Young Leaders Day at Claudelands Arena in Hamilton.  At the day there were  some public speakers who had amazing inspirational stories and speeches. 
One of the speakers was Lisa Tamati, a crazy ultra marathon runner that ran 222 km across the Niger Desert while suffering dysentery. She has hiked across the Sahara in borrowed boots (a size too small), run across Death Valley in 47C heat with damaged stomach lining while hallucinating about giant penguins. She had to overcome so many things to get to where she is and it was so inspirational. 
We also listen to an up and coming artist called Vince Harder who performed and gave a speech.  All in all the day was great! By Ben P
