Fundraising
Each year we have heaps of riders ask if they can use the event to raise funds for charity. We’re excited to have adopted a multi-charity approach and have teamed up with Grassrootz so you can raise funds for your favourite charity.
We’re thrilled to have Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ, Movember and I AM HOPE as our Hero Charities for this year’s event. If you don’t have a charity of choice, you can help these wonderful charities by setting up an online fundraising page and making a donation when you do your online entry. They would love your support.
Every day, 10 New Zealanders will hear the words: “I’m so sorry, you have prostate cancer.”
Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ is an independent charity, community funded and receives no government support. We rely on the generosity of kind-hearted kiwis like you to help fund our support services for men living with prostate cancer and their whānau including:
free nurse-led Information Service
free 24/7 Counselling Service
Support Groups and Online Support Forum
free educational resources.
Your gift today can help make sure that no one will have to go through the heartbreak of prostate cancer without the support they need.
To lose a child to suicide is every parents worst nightmare!
I AM HOPE has one goal - positive societal attitudinal change. We know our youth struggle with distressing self-talk and overthinking, leaving them feeling isolated and alone.
When we show them these thoughts are universal, we can give our kids a better life.
Over the past 10 years, we have spoken and listened to over 300,000 kids in schools from the top to the bottom of New Zealand.
We have created books for our youngest kids, barista trained struggling youth with community coffee carts, and enabled free counselling for over 10,000 young people.
Across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides.

Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,350 men’s health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men. For more info on our work and our impact, head to movember.com.
