840km ride from Melbourne to Adelaide in the heat of January to raise raise money for kids in need!
Canterbury
I've been accepted as a cyclist for HFF's annual charity ride!!!!
Which means I'll be cycling from Melbourne to Adelaide, 840kms over 6 days in the heat of January, with a bunch of other incredible people to raise money for HFF at risk kids around the world!
For such an amazing charity & opportunity, how could I not?!
This is something so super crazy out of my comfort zone so because of this I'm hoping you'll all find some amount, no matter how big or small, to donate towards my ride :)
Most definitely freaking out but figured I've got 4 months to train & inspire others to go after their crazy goals too!
Have to say the BIGGEST thanks to Cycle Surgery (http://www.cyclesurgerycanterbury.co.nz/) for donating my beautiful bike for the ride, literally worth thousands & to Anna Dungey, Physio @ Les Mils (https://www.thenetworkers.co.nz/members/physio-les-mills) for donating ALL my kit - helmet, multiple workout gears etc etc including the most important SQUISHY BUM PANTS! For any bike or physio needs PLEASE go check these two absolutely INCREDIBLE people out!

Our flagship Casa Herbalife Program provides over $2.3 million in funding and volunteer assistance each year to more than 100 organizations worldwide. These funds bring nutrition to more than 121,000 children in over 50 countries on a daily basis.
Created in 1994 by Herbalife Founder Mark Hughes (1956-2000), the Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) is a 501(C) (3), a non-profit corporation dedicated to improving the lives of children by helping charitable organizations provide healthy nutrition to children in need. Additionally, HFF often supports relief efforts in response to catastrophic natural disasters around the world.
In 2005, HFF was proud to introduce the Casa Herbalife Program to help provide healthy and nutritious meals by partnering with existing charities serving children. Today, HFF supports over 100 Casa Herbalife programs in more than 50 countries and serves over 120,000 children daily. HFF is supported by Independent Herbalife Members, their friends and families and Herbalife employees.
When you donate to HFF, you can be assured that your contribution will help people and communities in need. We are a non-profit organization supported by Herbalife, its independent Distributors, employees, friends and families. In fact, Herbalife pays 100 percent of HFF administrative costs.
I have been accepted as one of the riders for this incredible cause & I am looking to raise $5,000 myself to contribute to the target. To date I have committed $1,500 of my own money but most importantly - time. I am willing to put my body on the line in the hope I will raise funds to help these kids. Having aligned to Starship Hospital recently HFF takes on a whole new meaning for our kids here in NZ as well.
