Waikato

I am 75 this year , and enjoy keeping fit , and challenging myself . I have been a Rotarian for 20 years, and really enjoy the aims and aspirations of Rotary, with this year's theme being " ROTARY CONNECTS THE WORLD'"

Shelterbox is an amazing program that is able to respond within days of a disaster, to give families shelter and equipment to survive for a period of time ,anywhere in the world, that disaster strikes.

To participate in this challenge, I am expected to. raise in the vicinity of $3600, to promote and support Shelterbox.

I am asking anyone who is able, to contribute, say even the cost of a cup of coffee, $5, a motel room , $100.Whatever you feel comfortable , giving, know at the end of the day, I am hoping to raise $3600

Any amount would be greatly appreciated, and of course , your donation is tax deductible.

I am raising funds to support Shelterbox NZ , at the same time as I embark on a adventure that will require a determination to complete ,the Kokoda trail in Papua New Guinea. 90 km's over rugged terrain in tropical conditions.

On behalf of Shelterbox , I take the opportunity to thank all the people and Rotary Clubs that supported Shelterbox , raising $ 3800 to the fund ,unfortunately I have missed out on the Kokoda Trail trek , so have no memories and photos to share, because Covid 19 has put a big spanner in the works for the trip.

I can assure you all that the funds will be well utilized in providing shelter for families in disaster areas around the world
