Job well done - Emily Patterson was moved to do something for farmers after family friends left their farm. Photo: Karleen Minney
Emily tells us the event made "$45,000 with another large donation due at the end of the month'', all going to drought-stricken farmers through the organisation Aussie Helpers.
An admin worker with the Royal National Capital Agricultural Society, Emily was moved to act when family friends who had worked a farm in Yass for almost three decades who had to sell up.
A great effort for an obviously caring teenager.
