Gore, Southland

My granddaughter Claire is currently in Kolkata on a short term volunteering trip to Joyya. I'm taking this opportunity to raise some funds for this project while she is there. I'm 91 years old and have limited mobility and I can't get out on my bike, but I'm going to step out the distance to the top of Aoraki/Mount Cook on my home stepper/cycle. We have worked out that it is appxomately 25,657 steps to get to the top. This is my goal. My cat Bob, who is my constant companion , is supporting me on my journey.

In Kolkata a lot of kids have pretty tough lives and don't get to enjoy just being kids. Joy Ride is your opportunity to bring a little joy!
