The BIG Run and Row for the Milford Foundation!

Simon Corbett and Carmen Paterson from the Milford Cambridge office are putting their bodies on the line for the Milford Foundation, and we want you to dig deep and show your support for these two awesome team members. They have committed to a couple of gruelling challenges to help raise funds and awareness for the Milford Foundation, with a side benefit of getting pretty fit in the process!

THE RUN - Carmen’s running around Rarotonga on 24 September 2022 – yes the entire island! That's a 31km run as part of the Rarotonga Road Race.

Carmen is asking for $1/km, so $31 to complete the race – you’re welcome to go above this if you want for a fantastic cause. HOWEVER, if a time of 3hrs 20mins is beaten, then how about committing to doubling your initial donation? Running around uneven roads and dodging chickens in the hot sun won’t be easy!

THE ROW - Simon’s rowing a full marathon on 1 October 2022! That's 42,195 metres on a rowing machine! Ouch! Simon will train on his rowing machine in the garage, bike riding and rowing on Lake Karapiro with Waikato Rowing Club. The big row will be at a local gym in Cambridge!

Simon is asking for $1/km. So $42 if he completes it – but of course he is keen to raise as much as possible for a great cause. HOWEVER, if he breaks the current NZ record then he would love nothing more than donors DOUBLING what they have committed to! What’s the NZ record? Indoorrowing.co.nz has the fastest men’s time recorded in NZ as 2hr 45mins 58.7secs set in 2020.
