Walking into Eskdale

Walking into Eskdale

 
PAGE CREATOR: Emma Daken
EVENT: Emma's walk for a Cure.
EVENT DATE: 01/11/2008

Hi, I'm Emma.

I'm a 20 year old University Student - at Victoria University.

I am on my way to walk the length of New Zealand, Cape Reinga to Bluff, from 1 November 08 - 9 January 09. The focus of this challenge is to raise awareness and funds, for CFANZ -(Cystic Fibrosis Association of New Zealand).

My inspiration for selecting this charity is based on my personal experience with this illness. A very close friend of mine suffers from this genetic condition, and through my friendship with her, I have been given first hand experience of what it means to live with CF.

This is a huge challenge - I will be walking 2240kms in 70 days - that means I have to keep up a pretty cracking pace! I'm hoping that all NZ will get behind me as I walk our wonderful country. I know I will get the chance to meet some amazing people and see some great places along the way.

I'm being helped in this adventure by many businesses and individuals.

JUCY RENTALS - who are helping me with team transport

MILLENIUM HOTELS - who are putting me and my team up in various spots around NZ

NZ COMMUNITY TRUST - who have made a substantial donation toward our core costs for the walk

SHARON AND KIM - my two medical support team members

PAUL - my driver and also a person with CF

Thanks for checking out my fundraise online page, and for your messages of support - they are much appreciated!!

Be sure to check my regular blog updates. If you want to know more about CF, go to www.cfnz.org.nz to see how YOU can help! If you want to buy a t-shirt supporting my walk email Caroline on caroline@cfnz.org.nz (They are only $15!!!)
