Sponsor Paddy to help children in need through the Sarah Lilli Fund

$8,391 of $16,000 goal
Given by 86 generous donors in 9 weeks

The Sarah Lilli Fund is administered by Barnardos New Zealand - one of Aotearoa's leading providers of children's services.

Nationwide

The Sarah Lilli Fund has helped more than 2,000 children enjoy opportunities that would not have been possible for them otherwise.

Sarah’s Dad Paddy is on his bike again to mark his 70th year by doing his own Tour Aotearoa.

Not content with cycling just 160km around Lake Taupo (as he does most years) he’ll be cycling over 1,600 km from Cape Reinga to Wellington over the first two weeks of December.

Apart from the cycling, he’s set himself a challenging goal of raising $16,000 to fund another 100 Sarah Lilli grants.

Please support Paddy’s efforts so a lot more children in need can enjoy sporting, creative and social activities that help to change their lives.

You can follow Paddy’s adventure as recounted each day by Sarah’s friend Tiger Lilli https://www.facebook.com/TigerLilli.Payne and you can track his progress in almost real-time too: https://paddypayne.maprogress.com/lengthofnorthisland
