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.

James Winchester's involvement (page creator)

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. I want other kids to have access to the basics that my 3 kids take for granted.

Charity ride completed!!  30 March 2016

Hi all, to update you on progress - we successfully completed our ride without mishap last Wednesday, at Coronet Peak. We had a fantastic time and, more importantly, have cracked $150k in donations. Even better, this will mean that not 3, but 4, Wellington-based schools will be taken off KidsCan's waiting list and be fully supported for the next 3 years! It has been a truly inspiring and fulfilling event and one all of the participants are hugely proud of. Thanks to all of you for your generosity and support.

Cheers

James
