Gumboot Friday was a great success ! UPDATE

The call was made to get involved by swapping our usual shoes for a pair of gummies on Friday to raise awareness and funds for kids living with mental health issues.

One hundred per cent of proceeds would go to mental health charity I Am Hope

Mike King is front-footing New Zealand's inaugural Gumboot Friday says: "Having depression is like walking through mud every day,"  This is why Gumboot Friday was started this year to ask people to put on their gumboots and walk through mud with people to show that we care and we're out there listening."

A couple of players on Friday were seen filling their gumboots for a great cause.
