Fundraising for future studies abroad - a talented student's quest

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 6 June 2023

A young New Zealander, just shy of 21 has defied the odds to be accepted into London's prestigious Royal Academy of Music to study musical theatre.

Holly Main-Grant will be one of only five New Zealander's in the last decade to attend the school... but she has had to overcome many obstacles to get to this point.

Holly became very ill with a Digestive Motility Disorder at age nine, meaning she spent much of her teenage years missing weeks of school, performing arts and tertiary study.

She talks to Jesse about her fund raising efforts for her studies abroad!
