TA's Two Tyred Adventure - raising funds for Nelson fires

$2,030 of $2,000 goal

Given by 28 generous donors in 7 weeks

I will be riding through the Tasman area on my way to Bluff. I know first hand what these people have experienced and just want to help.

Nelson / Tasman

When I first told people I was gonna attempt to ride from Picton to Bluff a number of people asked me if I was fundraising for anything. It got me thinking.. But I just couldn't decide which cause was most deserving or appropriate. Until....the Nelson fires. It was obvious, particularly since I could empathise with people who had been evacuated having been through the process with the Port Hills fires. And I would be riding through this area, now with much of the forest gone and the landscape changed so dramatically.

I've spoken with the Tasman District Council and I know that there are many affected and may be for some time. While food and practical stuff can be immediate, sometimes everyone's needs are different. And I know that any money I raise will be put to good use.

When I started planning this ride, in the back of my mind I was not sure whether I physically could complete it. In my mind, I believe I can but having the incentive of raising funds just adds that little bit extra motivation to push through any tough or dark times.

Please, if you can spare some $, help me on my journey though donating to this worthy cause. Sometimes you just never know when you may need help..

I will be riding through the Tasman area in March as part of a goal to ride from Picton to Bluff. I can empathise with those affected by evacuation and loss as I was evacuated in the Port Hills Fires. The support we and others received was very much appreciated and it is only fitting to support others who now find themselves in the same situation.
