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

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.

Steph and Kate will be competing this year as ANGRY BIRDS! We were asked to join the challenge just two weeks from the start when Jo Holley and Miriama Smith from the team Wandering Eye had to pull out. You can check Jo and Miriama out on www.facebook.com/groups/wanderingeye . We are so fortunate to be given this opportunity and we plan to make the most of it!

We know that we don't have long until the start of the event but it would be great to be able to raise as much as we can. Every dollar counts! Any and all support is hugely appreciated by us and of course by Cure Kids!

So look out for a couple of Angry Birds flinging their way from Queenstown to Auckland from the 30th Nov - 3rd Dec, we may be needing a lift!

Thanks so much for your support!
