Running Badwater 135 to raise money to help kids with Cerebral Palsy.

Hastings, Hawke's Bay

I've run New Zealand and now we're going global!!! I have been lucky enough to be accepted to compete at the 2024 Badwater 135 in July, the world's toughest footrace across Death Valley in the USA. Money raised will be split between the costs to get me and my team get to America and Kiwi kids with Cerebral Palsy for SDR surgery in America and ongoing rehab costs upon returning to New Zealand.

Kids families that need the surgery are added to the SDR Facebook group and they can contact me on that page. The money I raise will be split evenly between all kids who require the surgery and rehab.

Money raised is passed onto families within New Zealand.

If I can get some sponsorship to cover my costs, all money raised will go to the kids.

Use of funds

On costs to get me and my team to the Badwater and Kiwi kids with cerebral palsy. If/once sponsors come on board, all money will go to the kids.

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.
