EVENT: Accor Hotels $10 Queenstown Challenge
EVENT DATE: 30/11/2011

We are competing in this years Accor Hotels $10 Challenge to raise money for Cure Kids.

We have to get all the way from Queenstown to Auckland, dressed in Fancy Dress, with just $10, and we really need your help!

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. We get $10 to survive on throughout our 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 has raised over $2,000,000 for vital medical research into children’s life threatening illnesses.

We are hoping to personally raise more than $17,000 and this is where we need your generous support to sponsor us.

Thanks so much for all of you who have supported us and this amazing New Zealand charity.

Special thanks to Truck Stops Social Clubs who have raised $2100, The Pure Go Peleton who raised $3000, the supporters of our Charity auction who raised more than $4000, Albany Rotary and Rotary NZ, and to Peugeot NZ and Sime Darby staff. You are all incredible.

Thank you so much!

Grant and Sarah Smith
