Jenny's quest for infinity wishes for Make A Wish NZ - The Ultimate Adventure Challenge

Introduction

My name is Jenny Sinclair, I am a 33 year old, living and working in Auckland. Having been born and raised in Invercargill, Auckland has been my home for over 7 years.

I recently finished a 10 year career as a Police Officer in the New Zealand Police and in January 2019 I embarked on a new career with Bayleys Real Estate.

Throughout my career I regularly worked with children and young people and I have always thrived on the ability to help better peoples lives both within my work as a Police Officer and through my various volunteer projects.

As I made the tough decision to leave the New Zealand Police, I always believed I would find other valuable ways in which I could help people voluntarily alongside my new career.

Earlier this year I was invited to become a ‘Wish Fairy’ volunteer for Make-A-Wish. In this role I get to meet children who are facing some of life's biggest struggles and help to grant them their one true wish.

This is the perfect opportunity for me to utilise my knowledge, experience and passion to help our young people and some-what brighten their difficult journey.

The Ultimate Adventure Challenge

I have the honour of being selected as one of 12 ambassadors representing Make A Wish in New Zealand's first charity and television partnership event.

In August 2019 I will undertake this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, where we will be sent to a mystery location within New Zealand to participate in a week of extreme adventure challenges.

This is a charity fundraising initiative that will culminate into a six episode TVNZ reality travel show called “Adventure All Stars” (formerly The Ultimate Adventure Challenge).

An award-winning production crew will capture the events for a programme which is to be screened on TV2. This crew has produced 19 documentaries in Australia and this is the first series that Charity TV Global will produce for New Zealand

Along with participating in this event I will be raising funds for Make A Wish New Zealand with a target of $10,000.

If you are a business and you are interested in sponsorship and branding, please contact me privately through the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/InfinityWishes

UPDATE (27 AUGUST 2019)

Filming for Adventure All Stars took place from Monday 12th to Friday 16th August and what a fantastic week it was touring around Northland, New Zealand with 5 other ambassadors and Erin Simpson who is hosting the TV show along with a 4 strong film crew.

I can't wait to see the end result of the hour long episode which will be on TV2 early next year!

You can see some photos from the adventure on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/InfinityWishes or search Charity TV Global on Facebook.

So far I have raised approximately $6,500 from donations, sponsorship and fundraising events so I still have a little way to go. I would like to say a huge thank you to Papakura Toyota and IronOak Financial Services for sponsoring and supporting me on this adventure.

...and I will be giving away spot prizes (mostly from Cadbury) to those of you who jump on board and support me with this cause!
