In doing so, she apparently became the first, according to organisers, to have gone through 10 buckets of icy cold water since the challenge started.
Ms. Fanueli was joined by Manaia Events Inc. group members; Jackie Loheni, Lei’ataualesa Jerry Brunt, Leataataoletaeao Maria Blakelock and Tuifa’asisina Korina Seiuli Lee.
The group raised $5,077 for the cancer patients.
$3,000 of the amount was personally donated by Chief Executive Officer of McDonald’s Family Restaurant, Tautolo Charlie Tautolo. McDonald’s is the official sponsor of this year’s Miss Samoa Pageant.
Leiataualesa said the challenge was also part of the build up to the Miss Samoa Pageant.
“This is our way of giving back to the community.”
