Riding around the South Island to raise awareness of live kidney donation.

$4,160 of $3,000 goal
Given by 38 generous donors in around 6 months

Fundraising for Kidney Health New Zealand

Nationwide

20 years ago I donated a kidney to a young lady in renal failure. There are more people waiting for a kidney than what is available each year from trauma and death. Live donation is a very real option.

Riding 3000km shows that donating a kidney does not affect your lifestyle, but change someone else’s life.

I'm aiming to raise $1 for each of the 3000kms I travel. Follow my DOT as I ride around the South Island....

Well what can I say. A huge thank you to all those who donated to help me surpass my goal of $3000. It’s very humbling knowing my circumnavigating the South Island wasn’t in vain. It wasn’t the trip I had originally planned but I made the best of it. I learnt a lot about my self too. Determination. Self belief. Fear of failure. How far I could push myself day after day.

Thanks to those who supported me. Family and friends. And also strangers who paid for some of my lunches and made donations.

And to

Kidney Health New Zealand. Enjoy the money I helped raise for you. It was a pleasure at to be able to support an organisation dear to my heart being a live donor myself.
