Trekking to transform young lives - raising funds for the Graeme Dingle Foundation in NZ.

Marlborough

Over Easter holidays this April I will be getting out from behind my desk and swapping wine country for the rice fields of Vietnam. I will be trekking to raise money for the Graeme Dingle Foundation, transforming young lives in New Zealand through teaching values, such as integrity and respect, and life skills sessions, in a fun learning environment within their own school setting.

The Kiwi Can program ran by Graeme Dingle Foundation teaches values and life skills at schools across New Zealand, including our local primary school - Redwoodtown. How great that children are learning more than just literacy and numeracy - they are learning to be great people!

Trek Accomplished!  27 April 2019

After 4 days, 70km and 420 stories up and down, the Trek to Transform Lives team has completed our challenge!

Some slopes were over 65 degrees, some tracks were barely a foot wide and I certainly made use of the trekking poles! Very proud that I persevered through it all and completed the whole challenge.

Thank you again for your support - over $3000 has been raised for Graeme Dingle Foundation.
