PAGE CREATOR: 51st Traverse
EVENT: 51st Traverse
EVENT DATE: 01/05/2010

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

The 51st Traverse is a global adventure - with a difference.

Five New Zealand blokes armed with five bikes, a video camera and a thirst for adventure will ride motorbikes from the eastern side of Russia, more than halfway across the globe to destination London.

With your support, we will sell every kilometre of our trip for NZ$1. That means our target is a total of $25,000 - an amount that will make a big difference in the lives of the most vulnerable children of Vladivostok.

The 51st Traverse promises to be the adventure of a lifetime for the boys, an entertaining journey for followers of the Traverse, and life-changing for the street kids of Vladivostok.

The 51st Traverse is aligned with the Living Hope charity to raise money for the amazing work of this grass-roots organisation. Use this page to contribute Living Hope, and make a difference in the lives of Vladivostok's street children.

Living Hope plans to complete a 24 hour shelter where street children can seek refuge from the harsh world of the streets - but they need help to do this. We aim to raise enough money for Living Hope to build a dormitory that will house 20 children every night. That's 20 children that will sleep in a safe, warm, clean environment instead of shivering in doorways or curling up in sewers. That's 20 children who will be given some dignity instead of being forced to live in inhumane squalor.

Our payment gateway is managed by Fundraise Online, which allows you to donate using your credit card with confidence. 100% of the money raised will go to Living Hope for the 24 hour shelter.

Select the "Make a donation" button below. It's simple, fast and totally secure.

On behalf of the children, thanks for your support.

The 51st Traverse Crew.

- Five blokes, five bikes, 18 countries, 25,000 kilometres. One epic adventure.
