America's Cup winners and Kiwi icons Blair Tuke and Peter Burling have taken some time out from Volvo Ocean Race duties to pay a special visit to a West Auckland primary school with some precious cargo in tow.
Ranui Primary's Zane Kukutai-Seumanu got his hands on a Halberg Trophy yesterday - the same one Team New Zealand picked up as the Supreme Award winners earlier this year.
Thanks to the Halberg Foundation, 9-year-old Zane - a left leg amputee, is now the proud owner of a useful hand cycle.
"To us, he doesn't have a disability – he's just like everyone else," Zane's teacher aide Elizabeth Wharetohunga said.
"When he gets to do all these cool sports events it's amazing – Halberg do such amazing job with it."
The Halberg Foundation have supported nearly 150 schools over the past two years.
