Abby Sturgin - Miss World New Zealand finalist 2016 - Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust Fundraising

Kia Ora, my name is Abby and I am currently a contestant of Miss World New Zealand 2016.

Miss World New Zealand is an annual Beauty Pageant that seeks an ambassador to represent New Zealand on the global Miss World stage.

The run up to the Pageant includes at least 12 weeks of workshops and training, held each Saturday prior to the Pageant. Training includes Social Media Training, Leadership Training, Leadership Development, Presenter Platform and various motivational workshops. Also included are catwalk training and many allied skills.

Although Beauty and Form are important considerations for a Miss World Winner, never-the-less Beauty With a Purpose is the core value of the Pageant.

It is a pageant designed to celebrate culture, beauty, fashion and talent and cherishes it’s theme “Beauty with a Purpose”, which embodies the true spirit of the crown by helping and supporting disadvantaged children in New Zealand.

As part of my journey as a Miss World New Zealand contestant 2016, I have chosen this organisation to be part of my "beauty with a purpose" mission alongside the Ronald McDonald House Charities which I will also be fundraising for.

I have decided to make this page to give my service, and to fundraise for the Auckland Rescue Helicopter. To put in more of an effort I will set up a challenge for myself every week or so, for example; giving up junk for for a month.

I am looking forward to completing these challenges and knowing that I can "give a little" to this organisation.

Thank you,

Abby.
