Fundraising for Diabetes NZ
Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui
Biking Cape Reinga to Bluff has always been a personal goal. Biking Aotearoa is now my reality.
I am fit & healthy, however I was recently diagnosed as pre diabetic. I see this as an opportunity to fundraise for Diabetes NZ, to raise awareness of diabetes & how even fit, healthy people can be affected.
I am passionate about health & exercise. I would like my ride to influence others to reassess their personal health.
Biking isn't new to me, I have biked the Camino de Santiago, Vietnam, Netherlands & most of the NZ Cycle Trails.
My goal is to raise $10 for every kilometre I bike.
Start date 24th August 2022

I DID IT!
Coldest start to date and super foggy. Ended up being a perfect sunny day.
Arrived at Bluff to unexpected cheers from the onlookers. Very emotional.
Cracked open the champagne to celebrate 🥂🍾
