NZ Army LAV Rides up for Grabs
Do you want to experience what it is like in the modern New Zealand Army? Take a ride in one of the most up to date Armoured Vehicles operating in the world today?
In the spirit of raising money for the Cure Kids charity the New Zealand Army has agreed to auction off three rides in a LAV at Burnham Military Camp, Christchurch and three rides in a LAV at Linton Military Camp, Palmerston North.
Also up for Auction is a Professional Development Day.

We (2LT Nick Fuller and 2LT Ruth Tautari) are taking part in the Accor $10 Queenstown Challenge which starts in Auckland on 1st October and finishes in Queenstown on the 3rd October.

The 2008 Accor $10 Queenstown Challenge involves 35 teams of two hitch hiking and also some pre-arranged travel such as the Interislander ferry, between Auckland and Queenstown. But it's not that easy... we are set challenges to test us physically, creatively and mentally as we journey from north to south!

With just $10 we will have to use all possible creativity and ingenuity to make it without flying or driving ourselves. It will also take plenty of courage, commitment, comradeship and integrity! Other people can, of course, drive us, so we hope we meet plenty of generous NZers on the way who won't mind picking up hitch-hikers just this once!

Sound crazy but fun !!!
It is all in the name of funding medical research for children with life threatening illnesses (like diabetes and cystic fibrosis). We only have to find the energy and willpower to survive these 3 days while the kids we are raising funds for have to find the same determination to face their challenges on a daily basis.

Every dollar counts! SO Bring on the donations... It's a great cause

Not only are we trying to raise our entry fee of $7,000 for our team, we would like to be the winners of the Cure Kids Champion Fundraising Trophy, which will be presented at the prize giving ceremony at the end of the Race.

Select the "Make a donation" button below. Its simple, fast and totally secure and the money goes straight to Cure Kids.

If you live in New Zealand your donation is tax deductible and a receipt will be issued.

Thanks for your support!
(and keep an eye on our blog there will be some hilarious stories, guaranteed!)
