Hundreds of Southlanders rallied together for the 12-hour Netballathon at ILT Stadium Southland yesterday in support of a young community member recovering from major surgery overseas. Teams, some including local body election candidates, took part in a non-stop rally from 8am to 8pm, to raise money for 13-year-old Darnae Lowe-McPherson. When Darnae told her Southland Girls' High School 8A netball team about her diagnosis, their only question was: "How can we help?'' Evie Lester (9), of Invercargill, gets stuck in to a game on the public court at the 12-hour Netballathon yesterday, held at ILT Stadium Southland in Invercargill. Mrs Skerrett thanked ILT Stadium Southland, which supplied the courts for free, as well as Netball South, the Invercargill Netball Centre, Invercargill Young Professionals, Made to Move, the ILT, H.W.
