PAGE CREATOR:	Eighties Babies
EVENT:	Accor Hotels $10 Queenstown Challenge
EVENT DATE:	30/11/2011

We are the Eighties Babies from the Franklin County New and North Waikato news (Fairfax Media). The Tony “Tommy” Stevens and Mitch “Chucky” Hyde duo. WE NEED YOU to help us raise money so Cure Kids can...well...cure kids. This fantastic charity is dedicated to funding research into curing illnesses that threaten the lives of our kids and we thought we'd give them a hand. We're good like that.

Okay well were not really babies but we still act like them, apart from when it comes to helping Kiwi kids. Personally we want all Kiwi kids to be able to enjoy running around the backyard with their arms outstretched pretending they are Superman, just like we did (and still do).

As well as being cheeky reporters we are both successful athletes, and have a staunch competitive spirit. We won’t give up or slack off no matter how much the odds are stacked against us. Kitted out in Eighties Babies costumes we aim to tug on the heartstrings of the New Zealanders we meet along the way and draw attention to the fundamental reason for this race: giving kids a chance at life. Riding our trikes and sporting our dummies there is no doubt we will be the most charismatic duo galavanting around the nation for this fantastic cause.

Will we rest on our laurels when we hit the $7150 target? Hell no! Our goal is to raise at least $20,000. The more we raise the more kids we save.

PLEASE jump on board the Eighties Babies wagon and support this fantastic cause. Little lives depend on it.

The Accor Hotels $10 Queenstown Challenge was first run in February 1993 and began as a fun challenge between two Queenstown locals to see who could make the return Queenstown to Auckland trip with no money and no assistance from friends and relatives along the way.

Over the years the rules have changed slightly, but the game remains the same. Each competitor gets $10 to survive on throughout his or her travels. Cure Kids provides accommodation each night through our generous partners, and dinner and breakfast each day. The route is kept top secret, with various innovative challenges along the way to test the brains, bodies, and creativity of the teams. Points are awarded based on performance within each challenge, awarding 1st place to the team with the most points. In other words, since this isn’t a “race” those who cross the finish line first aren’t necessarily the winners!

Cure Kids was gifted the license for this event in 2005, and since then we have raised over $2,000,000 for vital medical research into children’s life threatening illnesses.

Thanks so much for your support!
