Kiwi Kids and The Outdoors

Kia Ora,

My name is Troy Kendall. At the end of this year, I will be tramping the South Island of New Zealand to raise money for Kiwi children and teens that also want to experience the great outdoors.

Growing up I was privileged enough to enjoy the outdoors of New Zealand, been taught at a young age to swim, tramp, and many other activities. I found my passion in tramping and climbing, both activities being quite costly equipment wise. Thus this withholds many other Kiwi children and Teenagers back from being able to enjoy these experiences.

It is my dream to raise enough money to be able to provide some Kiwi youth the equipment they need to get out and enjoy the outdoors. There are many kids in New Zealand that have the wish to see its beauty from the other side, the wild-side.

With your help, this dream could become a reality. Allowing the next generation of Kiwi's to really experience the great outdoors from a different perspective. Being able to fund a few selected Kiwi children and Teenagers the gear they need to start their journey of a lifetime.
