Wooooohoooooo! We are so pleased to announce that Variety - The Children's Charity, have approved our proposal for purchasing 8 hybrid bikes and helmets for our Iron Māori Triathletes to train on and use during the Iron Māori event.
We are sooooo grateful for their kind and generous support.
On Wednesday morning two of our Triathletes, Iisa and Quilan, represented our Tri squad and school and thanked Variety for their support during the BDO Wellington to Auckland Cycle Challenge launch. Variety are one of the main sponsors for this awesome fundraiser.
Our students and the CEO of Variety, Lorraine Taylor, were interviewed by Sam Wallace on TV One's 'Breakfast' show.
It was a super morning celebrating Variety who support many whānau/families in communities like ours. We are very proud of Iisa and Quinlan.
A special mihi to Carly Thomson from Variety who met with us during our application process and helped us put things together.
Our next challenge is to fundraise for the kids tri-suits!
Nau mai - Welcome! We have created this blog to share our Journey to IronMāori 2015 (Aquathon & Triathlon). We are Year 7 and 8 students from Pt England School, Auckland, NZ.
