Participating in Big Challenge for Little Kids

Auckland

Camp Quality is such an incredible organisation – there is nothing cooler than seeing the smiles on the faces of kids who have been through cancer and now get the chance to be kids again.

They have to face massive challenges and deal with fear every day on their cancer journeys – so I figure it's my turn to face my fear!

I have always hated rock climbing – the last time I went (about 16 years ago!) I ended up crying halfway up a cliff face, needing to be pushed up to get to the top. That's why my big challenge is to face my fear head on and go rock climbing – this time, hopefully I'll make it to the top of the wall without crying!

$2,700 is what it costs to send one kid to camps each year, so my goal is to cover the cost of at least one camper. Plus, for every $1000 donated I'll add an extra wall to my challenge – so get donating and help me raise money for kids living with cancer!

I did it! 31 October 2022

On Friday I successfully climbed to the top of two rock walls (plus did a couple of half walls)! Huge thanks to my cheer squad who helped encourage me and of course to every single one of you, who donated so generously. If you haven't already seen it, you can see video of me reaching the top of the second wall here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/verity-craft_today-i-did-something-i-havent-done-in-over-activity-6991683405516075008-vWCH?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

Thank you so, so much for supporting me and Camp Quality NZ – you're amazing!
