Hawke's Bay Today's Bring yer Boots has kicked into a higher gear, with the region getting behind the campaign.
The cross-code initiative - launched last Friday with Magpies first five-eighth Ihaia West donating a pair of his playing boots - is geared to encourage people to donate their old sports
boots for children needing some sprigged footwear this winter.
The Averill family from Havelock were putting their best foot forward by dropping in about 15 pairs of boots to the Hawke's Bay Today main office yesterday..
Beth Averill has three boys who play rugby.
"The boots had been clogging up room in the cupboard, so I thought right, let's have a clean-up," Mrs Averill said.
