Lucy Best: Coast-to-Coast Event Sponsorship for Snowboard Instructor Internship in Canada - help pay for flights, tuition and accommodation

Wellington

Ever since Lucy first experienced snow, she’s had a passion for snow boarding. Now she’s ready to help others love shredding, cruising on the powder and performing 360s!

In 2023 she’s got her chance! An INTERNSHIP in a snowboard instructor school at Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada!!! ❄️🏂🏔

Before leaving the nest though, Lucy is undertaking her SELF-CREATED COAST-TO-COAST multi-sport event in April 2022 - running 🏃‍♀️, road cycling 🚴‍♀️, mountain biking 🚵‍♀️, swimming 🏊‍♀️ and kayaking 🛶 both in the sea and a lake! - over 3 days.

Titahi Bay in Wellington, all the way across the base of the North Island of NZ to Tora on the Wairarapa Coast. 😯 Yes! Really!! 🤩

This epic adventure is not for the faint hearted. She’ll be tenting 🏕 for two nights and self-propelling 😅 herself across the island from one side to the other, nearly 150km of physical drive, self motivation and grit. Hills, grassy and muddy tracks, sea inlets, a lake, roads - both paved and metal.

Yep! WOW is the word!!! 😳🤯🤩🙀

Lucy would love to have all her family and friends “WITH HER” throughout this adventure❣️

💲💲💲 Please SPONSOR LUCY.

Encourage Lucy to complete her April mega-challenge and help Lucy with fundraising for her next HUGE ENDEAVOUR - the Snowboard Instructor internship in Canada, through EA 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼

ALL💲 appreciated to help pay the tuition fees 🏔 🏂 and accommodation costs of US$12k + November flights to Canada ✈️

Wednesday 16 November. Wow 😮✈️😄

Then meeting her Lake Louise crew and the adventure really kicks off.

Only a month of school left.

(Someone please hold my hand so I don’t fall over!)

Lucy couldn’t have made it this far on her huge fundraising epic adventure without your support.

As a thank you, feel free to listen to the latest composition Lucy created this year as part of her class 12 (year 13) Music assessment.

(Please don’t share this version as it’s not complete to the level Lucy would like it)

Feel free to enjoy the music and vocals all performed by Lucy, along with her learning skills in producing the track with our amazing friend Phil Riley.

Thank you very much for your kindness, generosity and support.

Arohanui, from Lucy & Sarah xx

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.
