Harold Helps Fundraise for Life Education!

In October 2009, Healthy Harold was invited to Geraldton’s Relay for Life and he proudly walked the oval at Wonthella throughout the 24-hour fundraising appeal. Harold also did a promotional event at Bunnings in partnership with Relay for Life.  Healthy Harold’s Hikers raised nearly $1000.00 for Cancer Research.

Harold At Mullewa School

Healthy Harold and Narissa Alford from Midwest Life Education receive recognition from Mullewa School. WOW!! What a great HONOR- to be nominated by a school from Ernie Dingo’s hometown. Healthy Harold really enjoyed travelling out to Mullewa and surrounding areas to deliver the program and it was wonderful to receive affirmation from the school. CONGRATULATIONS Harold and Narissa!!.

Harold Visits The Sunshine Festival

Holly Fawcett, Emma McDougall, Fiona Donnelly at the Sunshine Festival. The girls carried the banner for Harold. They can’t wait until Harold can visit them at Secondary School!!

Midwest Life Education recently participated in the Community Careers and Training Expo at the Central West TAFE in Geraldton, West Australia.

Approximately 1300 Secondary School children from as far away as Carnarvon and Meekatharra, aged (13-19 years),  attended and feedback about their Primary School experience with Midwest Life Education and Harold's Health messages were all positive. The students were asked if they would like Harold to start visiting Secondary Schools and it was a unanimous "Yes".

This was also a great opportunity for MWLE to talk with members of the Geraldton Iron Ore Alliance. MWLE is currently sponsored by four members of the Alliance and was most recently presented with a cheque from Crosslands who have sponsored school-children in Mullewa, WA.

The Community Careers and Training Expo featured former Gladiator Tiffiny Hall, who recently switched from television to mentoring kids last year. Tiffiny was very excited to see Harold and she agreed Harold is a great ambassador for eating well and getting active.(Please refer to photograph of Tiffiny and Harold, Photo Compliments of Dragonfly Media, Geraldton)

MWLE plans to attend next years Expo and was very impressed with the engagement of the Midwest Community enabling this event to be such a success.
