Canterbury chair Melissa's a hero

Congratulations to Canterbury Branch Chair Melissa Skene who has been awarded a Kiwibank Local Hero Award, which rewards everyday people doing extraordinary things in their communities. 

Melissa stepped in to help run the Canterbury Branch 19 years ago and her award acknowledges her commitment to CF families in the region. She is incredibly supportive to new parents who value talking to someone who has been through what they are facing. 

She received her medal at a special Kiwibank Award ceremony in December.
