Thanks Auckland!

Auckland has had it hard - more lockdowns, more cases, and a lot of isolation as the current Covid-19 restrictions on the city continues.

We're all tired and frustrated, but it's even harder for those living in Auckland. They've been on New Zealand's frontline from the beginning, and they're struggling. Yes - there have been a few cases of rule breakers, but I believe that the vast majority have played to the rules, stayed home and protected us all - for a long time.

Let's thank them with a banner streaming through the skies, saluting their mahi by locking down, staying home and getting a little (or very) stir-crazy. It's a bit of feel-good for us, and a lot of feel-good for them to be seen and acknowledged.

The banner will say (in big 5 foot red letters):

KIA ORA RAWA ATU - THANKS AUCKLAND!

This probably the first time Te Reo Māori will fly on a banner through the skies.

Let's all contribute to thank Auckland! This fundraiser will cover at least 2 hours of flying over Auckland to thank our team for doing the hard yards. Additional funds will go to additional time in the sky.

And a BIG THANK YOU to Air Bubble Advertising for contributing the assembly of the banner! you guys are awesome!

Disclaimer: The fundraiser has changed from all-or-nothing to a straight fundraiser, due to Airbubble's support. I will not financially benefit from this in any way - just warm fuzzies from the support of like-minded kiwis!
