Loud Shirt Day is the annual appeal run by The Hearing House and the Southern Cochlear Implant Programme. Daniel Myall won the ‘best effort’ award with his self-sewn shirt made from curtains from his childhood days. He even donned a Van der Veer logo on the front. Valeria Lushkina won ‘best overall look’ for her loud outfit. The team had some very strange looks when out for lunch at Winnie Bagoes, but the effort was well worth it, with $241.50 being raised for hearing impaired children.
