Ben and Sam Brown's Fundraising Page

Cherokee lives with a Brain Tumour - we need your help to help the 20,000 kids in NZ like Cherokee

PAGE CREATOR:	Ben and Samantha Brown
EVENT:	Novotel $10 Queenstown Challenge 2009
EVENT DATE:	30/09/2009

Please help us!!!

We will be taking part in the 2009 Novotel $10 Queenstown Challenge! This involves teams of two undertaking a series of innovative challenges en route from Auckland to Queenstown over 3 days.

We will only have $10 for three days, so we will have to use all possible creativity and ingenuity to make it without flying or driving ourselves. Other people can drive us of course, so we hope we meet plenty of generous Kiwis 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 vital medical research for childrens 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.

AND WHY ARE WE DOING IT?.

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.

Select the "Make a donation" button below. Its simple, fast and totally secure and the money goes straight to Cure Kids.

If you live in New Zealand your donation is tax deductible and a receipt will be issued.

Thanks for your support!
(and keep an eye on our blog there'll be some hilarious stories, guaranteed!)
