Hundreds of people turned up in glorious sunshine yesterday to pay tribute to 13-year-old Whangārei schoolgirl Aimee Lindsay at a memorial football fundraiser.

Aimee, a keen football and cricket player, collapsed and died from a previously undiagnosed medical condition at Kamo Intermediate School on November after an athletics training session.

More than 45 businesses and community groups rallied behind yesterday's memorial 12-hour football game at the Onerahi Football Club to celebrate her memory and raise funds.

Hundreds turned up to support the cause and pay tribute to Aimee.

Northern Advocate photographer John Stone went along to capture the amazing event.
