Participating in Roll to the World Cup with Team New Zealand Roller Derby
Rotorua, Bay Of Plenty
I'm helping to fundraiser for our national roller derby team who is heading allllll the way to Austria in July to compete in the World Cup!
My goal is to roll every single day in March for at least 18.2 minutes excluding roller derby training sessions/games. 18.2mins is based on the number of km to Innsbruck, 18,200!.
18.2 minutes a day might not seem like much, but I'm a busy human so it's gonna be a mission! Rolling for me will either be on my skates (excluding derby training), or biking with my son to the school bus and in the forest. I CAN DO IT!
All of the proceeds from this fundraiser go straight to the TNZRD kete, helping ALL of our team with the huge costs of travel to Innsbruck.
THANK YOU!
It's all about being real, right? 1 April 2025
My last updates have been late coming, and I owe you some minutes.
The week of the 17th of March was a tough one. While I got in about 40minutes of rolling in the first couple of days, the rest of the week was almost non-existant. I had a very painful biopsy on a lump I've had in my throat for a while (still waiting on results), and then two days later had a cortisone shot in my hip joint.
While I did skate about 30mins outside of regular SCSR training on Monday 24th, after seeing my physio on Tuesday and being told off (oops), I took it easy until Saturday and Sunday's Team New Zealand training.
If I were to count the minutes I skated at various trainings, I would have easily covered my commitment, but that isn't what we signed up for, right? So over the next week, even though the challenge has ended, I will skate an additional 200 minutes to ensure I've covered my end of the deal.
Thank you to EVERYONE who has supported me and the team with this campaign and our other fundraising efforts. We appreciate it heaps <3
