We were contacted by the Kelleher for youth organisation, Byron Kelleher’s (ex All Black scrumhalf) charity, with a request to publish what they do and I offered to float an advert for a while, which you will see on top of every page.
So, put your hands in the pockets.. and help the cause!
Hereafter follows a full feature on their activities:

All Blacks star brings sporting values and healthy life style to the heart of the community. This morning the Stade toulousain’s halfback Byron Kelleher one of the world’s top rugby players launched a new charity concept in partnership with PriceMinister, He will open an on-line shop for one month and all profits will go towards his association “Kelleher for Youth”.
