Ambassadors Daniel Portelli and Katya Crema – Intervarsity Success

isft. ambassadors Daniel Portelli and Katya Crema came away from the 2010 Victorian Intervarsity Championships with a bevy of wins between them. Last weekend at Mt Buller, Dan overcame a longtime rival to take the 2010 boardercross championship and Katya racked up wins in ski cross, dual slalom and GS.

The money will go directly to the purchase of a new dermatoscope to be gifted to the VMS on their behalf. This special piece of equipment is used by Dermatologists as a non-invasives way to detect melanoma.

Four letters, one cause...21 kilometres

All old friends of Tom; James, Matt, Leigh, Rachel and Adam braved the early morning start and distance in honour of a mate not to be forgotten. This groups’ contribution to the isft. movement represents a true belief in the importance of the cause.
