Cyling the Length of New Zealand For Spinal Cord Injury

$9,614 donated
Given by 65 generous donors in around 3 months

Cycling the length of NZ this December to support spinal cord injury research and rehabilitation. Every kilometre counts.

Auckland

Our names are Maddie and Hunter.

In December, we will be cycling the length of New Zealand – from the very top to the very bottom – to raise awareness and funds for spinal cord injury research and rehabilitation.

We’re supporting two causes close to our hearts:

* The CatWalk Spinal Cord Injury Trust, founded by Dame Catriona Williams, which funds groundbreaking research to help find a cure for paralysis.

* Anamia Ltd, founded Anamia tiori rangihaeata, which is building a high-performance retreat for athletes with spinal cord injuries – a one-of-a-kind space for rehabilitation and recovery here in New Zealand.

Our dream is simple but powerful: a world free from spinal cord injury paralysis. This ride is our way of turning that dream into action, showing support to the millions of people worldwide who live with this injury every day.

We’d love for you to be part of this journey. Every donation, big or small, takes us one step closer to creating change. If you can’t donate, sharing our page is just as valuable in spreading the word.

Thank you so much

I've done bits and bobs in the past for The CatWalk Trust and after hearing of Anamia's upcoming project it just made sence to me to fundraiser for both and make the biggest impact possible!

Use of funds

We’re supporting two causes close to our hearts:

* The CatWalk Spinal Cord Injury Trust, which funds groundbreaking research to find a cure for paralysis.

* Anamia Ltd, which is building a high-performance retreat for athletes with spinal cord injuries.

All funds raised will be split evenly between the two organisations.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
