FFC Ride 4 KidsCan
Raise money to donate to KidsCan to make a difference for Kiwi kids
Wellington
- At the FFC Racing Team we know there are kids in our community that are not getting a fair crack at the basics in life.
Since riding bikes is what we love to do we are going to ride from Christchurch to Queenstown in order to raise money for Kiwi Kids who will benefit from our support.
To get a direct result for disadvantaged Kiwi Kids every dollar raised we will be donating to KidsCan.
As of today KidsCan supports over 18,000 hungry children a week with food insecurity. Their tangible programmes, Food for Kids, Shoes for Kids, Raincoats for Kids and Health for Kids concentrate on giving the basics directly to children in need in partnership with the schools they attend.
We will be riding 650 Km including 7,000 metres vertical climbing - a little bit of pain for us equals a great outcome for Kiwi kids in need.

FFC racing team is committed to raising as much money as possible to directly benefit Kiwi Kids.
Our journey will enable Kids through the KidsCan charity to go to school and have the basics provided allowing them to be a kid and learn and become an even greater Kiwi Kid.

Final Day 24 March 2016
What an awesome way to finish. We climbed the Crown Range which would be the hardest climb I have ever done to then descend down to Arrowtown and then climb up Coronet Peak - which became the hardest climb I have ever done. We got a bit of rain on Coronet but given the rest of the week there were no complaints. Couple of hairy moments coming down from the Crown Range with two people's back tyres exploding - possibly due to the heat from the brake-pads. Bit hairy but no damage was done thank goodness.
Overall it was a great experience - the scenery was amazing, the riding was hard and challenging, the team were great so everything worked out. And the best news was that we raised around $150k for KidsCan which will take 3 schools off the waiting list and help 750 kids get the basic necessities that they need. Awesome.
