Hey, I’m Zoe, and I am currently living in Perth. I am 20 years old and enjoy horseback riding, reading, eating, and driving in my turtle. I also did my placement at the YAK Youth Centre for the SSW program, and this is my second summer assisting in the organization of the Duck Race. I am looking forward to the race this year, along with selling ALL of the tickets (1,000).

Hey, I’m Breah and I fall from the Falls. I am 22 years old I enjoy reading, listening to music, astronomy, singing in my car as loud as I can, and just plain old fashioned fun.

This is my first time working on a fundraiser for a non-profit organization, and I cannot wait to see how this journey will end.
