Christchurch, Canterbury

In Kolkata, a lot of kids don’t get to enjoy just being kids. Poverty and modern slavery don’t leave much room for fun or joy in their lives. Your donation funds spaces and activities where kids can just play, laugh, and hang out.

We are a bunch of mates that like riding our bikes so we wanted to use our fun to make money for their fun.

We are going to ride the height of Everest – 8,849m – up the Rapaki Track. Team B (Brad) is going to do it alone, and Team A (the rest of us) are going to support him, riding alongside in a relay. We have to do 32 climbs in one single day!

Team A is Trevor van den Bogaert, Wayne Murray, Dave Wilson, Richard Copeland, Craig McInnes, Peter Elliott, Angus Bargh, Murray Dwyer, Nick Regnault, Mark Johnston and any other keen beans we can persuade to come.
