Riding the length of the North Island to raise funds and awareness for Unicorn Foundation NZ.

Nationwide

We are involved in this fundraising ride to help support Unicorn Foundation NZ which our close friend Malcolm Legget has instigated and has 1st hand knowledge of, (Neuroendocrine Cancer or NET cancer ).

We are passionate bike riders and by riding the Tour of New Zealand (North Island section) we will help raise awareness and funds for further research into NET cancer and its treatment options. As evident from Malcolms's sudden diagnosis along with family and friends who have suffered from cancer, we feel that by helping to fundraise towards research and treatments we are helping not only our friends and families but future generations to come.

We thank you for any donation as every dollar received will make a huge difference so please support us as we embark on this important and worthy challenge.

Unicorns have now cycled over 600 km !  16 April 2015

We only have two days to go in the Tour of NZ and our riders have now cycled over 600 km.

It was huge day today, and it started in one of NZ’s most beautiful places just outside the Chateau, in the Tongariro district. It was extremely cold, especially when the intense wind gusts pushed them around but each rider gave it all and made it over the finish line. Our young gun Matt Noland taking out first place for a 2nd time was also a highlight. The determination to complete this challenge along with the camaraderie amongst the team has been incredible to witness and I feel so blessed to be a part of it.

We have a few photos up on our Facebook page, head to: https://www.facebook.com/unicornfoundationNZ
