The GoFundMe pages were set up for Will Connolly after he smashed an egg on Mr Anning's head during a press conference at a Conservative National party rally. 

On Tuesday night, Mr Connolly announced on Instagram the money raised from two GoFundMe pages, a total of $99,922.36, had been donated to the Christchurch Foundation and Victims' Support.

“For those of you who don’t know, there were two GoFundMe pages set up to help cover the cost of my legal fees and to ‘buy more eggs.’

“Gratefully, Gordon Legal acted pro-bono for me so I don’t have any legal fees.

“I decided to donate all monies to help provide some relief to the victims of the massacre … it wasn’t mine to keep.”
