Tony and Patrick will be taking part in the Novotel $10 Queenstown Challenge which starts in Auckland on 30th September and finishes in Queenstown on the 2nd October. We had an extremely successful event last year raising $8490.00 for Cure Kids.

The 2009 Novotel $10 Queenstown Challenge involves 35 teams of two hitch hiking and also some pre-arranged travel such as the Interislander ferry, between Auckland and Queenstown. But it’s not that easy…the innovative team at CluedUp will set challenges to test us physically, creatively and mentally as we journey from north to south!

With just $10 we will have to use all possible creativity and ingenuity to make it without flying or driving ourselves. Other people can, of course, drive us, so we hope we meet plenty of generous NZers on the way who won’t mind picking up hitch-hikers just this once!

Sound crazy but fun !!!
Well yes it is a little; however this is all in the name of funding medical research for children with life threatening illnesses (like diabetes and cystic fibrosis). We only have to find the energy and willpower to survive these 3 days while the kids we are raising funds for have to find the same determination to face their challenges on a daily basis.

So please could you sponsor us? Every dollar counts!
Not only are we trying to raise our entry fee of $7,000 for our team, we would like to be the winners of the Cure Kids Champion Fundraising Trophy, which will be presented at the prize giving ceremony at the end of the Race.
