In order to be supported and ensure that Shake Up is a success, I gathered a team around me that would help with critical decisions and keep me on track. This was posted to Facebook by one of the team members, Sophie.

We are blown away by this record breaking response to Shake Up! The team met this week over coffee in the warm Rotorua sun to discuss the plan from here.
To be honest, we had been hopeful that the $16,523 goal would be met before the 7th of January - we didn't, in our most optimistic of dreams, think it would happen within 4 days! We feel humbled and blessed, but most of all encouraged that so many people are backing Matt and this exciting Shake Up initiative.
These are exciting times right now. As I write this, the current total is $19,135 - the extra money means that the caravan can receive other items on the wish list, things we were anticipating paying for as money came in over the next 18 months. We have decided to share this list with you and use the remaining 18 days of Matt's Spark My Potential campaign to fundraise for those things.
The journey of Shake Up has been both incredibly hard and totally awesome. Dee and myself are proud to be involved in the journey alongside Matt, and we are all very grateful for your support.
Thank you,
Sophie
