World Vision 40 Hour Challenge

Hi everyone!

This is my donation page for the  World Vision 40 Hour Challenge.

This year, World Vision is raising money to help children and families in the Solomon Islands who are facing serious food shortages and the effects of climate change. Many families rely on farming and fishing for food, but rising sea levels and changing weather patterns are making it harder for them to grow crops and provide enough food for their children.

To help raise awareness and support, my friends and I are challenging ourselves to bike 40 kilometres. While this is a challenge for us, it's nothing compared to the challenges many children in the Solomon Islands face every day.

The money raised can help provide things like seeds, farming tools, nutrition education, and training that helps families grow healthy food and build a more secure future. Even a small donation can make a real difference.

If you're able to support me, I would be so grateful. Every donation helps children and families have access to better nutrition and a brighter future.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for supporting this cause. It means a lot to me!

40 Hour Challenge = ✅

Monday 22nd Jun
Yesterday was the big day!
Yesterday, I had an early start at 6:30 to get ready for the 40 Hour Challenge. 
We went to pick up Ella at 8:00, and we set off to the Little River Rail Trail.
We started at Motukarara Station, and began what would be a long ride to the finish line. The weather was pretty rubbish by the time we reached 11kms, and we were cold and tired. We stopped halfway at a cafe in Little River for food and a bit of rest before we started again. We called Mum asking if she would pick us up from Kaituna Quarry, but she told us that we had to push through , and think of the kids in the Solomon Islands. That motivated us to keep going! 
 The weather actually got better, and on the way back it was more sunny and warm.
We felt very accomplished at the end, as we had biked 49 kms! We were very proud of ourselves.
Below is a photo and our Strava stats.
Good work Ella, and thank you dad for helping us make an impact!

Practice Ride Complete!

Sunday 14th Jun

Today I did a practice ride at McLeans Forest to get ready for my 40 km bike ride for the World Vision 40 Hour Challenge. It was a great chance to build up my fitness and see how I'm tracking before the big day. Every kilometre reminds me why I'm doing this- to help raise funds for children and families in the Solomon Islands.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far! Shout out to Nanny and Aunty Karen for the huge donations!

I've also included my Strava Statistics. It was good biking 11 kilometres in 50 minutes!
