Te Kiwi Maia Conquer the Swiss Alps

In August we are riding the Swiss Epic, a 5 day mountain bike race through the Swiss Alps to raise funds and create more awareness for the amazing work of Te Kiwi Maia- The Courageous Kiwi Charitable Trust. Within our family, we have seen the enormous toll volunteering at a community base Fire Brigade takes on personal lives. They are doing incredible important work which unfortunately has a huge impact, mentally and physically on them and their families. We are so grateful for the work they do but see that they need support in return. Te Kiwi Maia is a charity which provides rehabilitation, recovery and respite to all those who – as a result of their role in safeguarding and caring for New Zealanders – have physical or psychological injuries. They enable our people and their families to continue healthy, positive lives.

So on the 16th of August, we hop on our bikes to conquer the alps- 5 days- 350 km- 12000 m of climbing. A lot of courage is needed from us as it will test most of our boundaries. It's a team ride that will require physical, technical and mental skills on a whole different level than we have ever experienced before. Dutch courage wont really help us here so we keep it Kiwi!
