It seems pretty simple that kids should get to enjoy being kids. But that’s not always the case for those in the communities in Kolkata that Joyya work alongside. Poverty doesn’t leave a heap of space for fun or joy.

So, let’s raise some money to help make fun and joy happen!

It's 11,267km from Christchurch to Kolkata, so throughout October I'll be cycling 11,267m, knowing that with your support this can make a difference to kids in Kolkata.

We've reached the end! 1 November 2023

Yesterday was the final day for Joyride 2023. It has been a genuine joy to see so many people take part and donate, all coming together to raise money for Joyya and the communities in Kolkata where they live and work. A massive thank you to everyone who has sponsored me and contributed towards this.

And for those asking, yes, I achieved my goal 😂 It’s 11,267km from Christchurch to Kolkata, so I had aimed to bike 11,267m throughout October. And hooray - I did it! You can still sponsor me for this incredible accomplishment 😉

My final bike ride was to a local park to experience my own fun and play - just like we want the kids in Kolkata to experience.

Were there any kids at this playground? No. Was I alone in the playground? Yes.

Did I go down the slide anyway? Yes. Yes I did.

Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa.
