The most visible part of Valley Flyer's community partnership with the Gillies McIndoe Research Institute, announced in September, was launched today - a striking, new-look bus which will help raise awareness of the Institute's life-changing work.

Over 1000 entries were received as part of the Valley Flyer 'Design-a-Butterfly' competition that was held in the Hutt Valley over the last four weeks.

Local Hutt Valley bus service, Valley Flyer is joining with the Gillies McIndoe Research Institute in a new community partnership.
