I'm 14 years old. I'm going to SUP across Wellington harbour for my dream of going on the Spirit of New Zealand.

Wellington

I'm 14 years old and a have managed to land a place on a ten-day Spirit of New Zealand voyage in October. Wow! But the only way I can go is if I raise the funds myself. To get the $1950 it costs, I could bake and sell an awful lot of lamingtons, BUT INSTEAD, I have decided to take on a challenge of paddling right across Wellington Harbour on a stand up paddle board. My route will be from Eastbourne to Shed 5, in the Wellington CBD (approx. 10km), and I have started training every day after school to achieve my personal and eventually, financial, goal. The reason I want to go on the ship is to help me to develop my leadership and teamwork skills.
