Given by 181 generous donors in 13 weeks

Join me as I complete a daily triathlon, covering the length of New Zealand (over 2000km) in under two weeks. Starting in Bluff August 2nd.

Nationwide

I am Kieran McPherson, a 28 year old professional off road triathlete born and raised in Matamata, New Zealand. On August 2nd 2020 I will be “triathloning” the length of New Zealand from Bluff to Cape Reinga, over two weeks, to raise money for Philips Search & Rescue Trust. This Trust fundraise’ s for the North Island’s largest pool of community rescue helicopters, which provides air medical and rescue services free of charge, on a no fault basis. I hold this charity close to my heart - in April 2012 I fractured my L3 vertebrae in a tree felling accident and required a rescue helicopter as there was no road access – without that rescue helicopter, my life would be very different today. Later that year after months of rehabilitation I went on to win my first Age Group World Championship title held in Auckland, New Zealand. It is now my time to give back, so please join me, donate and lets SAVE LIVES together.

In 2012 the WestPac Rescue helicopter was dispatched to my aid after a tree felling accident where I fractured my L3 vertebrae. Later that year, after months of rehabilitation, I went on to win my first ever triathlon World Champs. Now I want to give back.
