Mount Maunganui local Kieran Moloney raised $3000 for Amanda Lowry, who broke her neck while surfing.
Mr Moloney used to see Ms Lowry regularly at Sidetrack Cafe at the Mount and wanted to do something to help her.
He placed a donation box in the cafe and received $1000 in the first week.
He also ran from the bottom of Skyline Skyrides in Rotorua to the Mount in under nine hours.

He will present a $3000 cheque to Ms Lowry tomorrow.
