This is why do we do this, for our son Keegan

Keegans recent visit to ICU, spent four days in hospital, suffering from Diabetic ketoacidosis

Rotary Club of Kawerau

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.

Why are we doing this???

Well my Wife (Kim) and I (Sean) have a son (Keegan)who was diagnosed almost 3 years ago now with Type 1 Diabetes.

This has affected the whole family, going from an easy going cruisy lot to having to have some pretty rigid schedules imposed on us all.

We constantly have to check to see if what we want to do will in some way affect Keegan and his illness, can we work around it, can we do it at all.

Keegan himself has to test his blood sugars 6 times daily and inject himself up to 8 times a day.
He follows a strict diet and cannot even go outside and just run around without having to think about his condition.

Keegan and my Wife went on the Curekids "Ticket to Hope" weekend in Queeenstown last year and what a fantastic time they had.
My wife was so impressed with the Cure Kids Team and what they stood for, She decided that it was worthwhile "To give something back"
So along with her Sister, they decided to do the 2010 $10 challenge.
They had a real blast doing the event and was part of a group of people that managed to raise over $250000.

It has given our family a chance to give back and say a big thank you to Curekids for what they do.

Of course doing it once was not enough so of course it was all on again for this year, this time roping in her Husband.
