World Vision 40 Hour Challenge 2026

World Vision 40 Hour Challenge

Out biking for at least 80km, impact for a lifetime!

I'm raising funds so families in Solomon Islands can get the seeds, tools and skills they need to grow crops to feed their children in a changing climate.

This kaupapa matters because in the Pacific region, 1 in 6 kids are living in severe food poverty. Together, rangatahi in Aotearoa can help change that.

Your support would mean so much to me. Please donate today so kids in the Pacific get enough food to grow up healthy and strong.

Now’s the time to stand up and make a difference for our neighbours in the Pacific.

My Challenge is to do at least 80 to 100km around the wetlands near my house on my bike.

Sunday 21st Jun

Firstly thank you so much for everybody who donated to me. Your donations really spurred me on. Secondly this has been a massive effort for myself and I am very grateful for my parents who have supported me and helped me achieve my goal. Finally I think that the cause that world vision supports is a very good cause and it deserves to be recognised and supported by everyone. Thanks so much again for supporting me I hope you have a good day and you know that your money has gone to someone in need. Peace ✌️ 🎊🥳🎉🤩

68km down 12km to go!!!!!

Sunday 21st Jun

Today I headed out into the wetlands which were very muddy and pushed through 6 laps it is the most laps I have done and I am very proud of my efforts I will have to do 3 more laps after church to finish my goal

Over half way to my goal

Saturday 20th Jun

I just finished 4 laps which brings me to over 40km in fact I am now at 44km it’s the end of the first 12 hours of the challenge and I and really proud of my efforts so far and I hope I will have energy to continue the challenge tomorrow 😀🎉

Next 12km under my belt

Saturday 20th Jun

I have just come back from biking another 12km or 3 laps of the wetlands and I am really starting to feel a bit tired I had to fight and almighty head wind on the last lap so I had to call it a bit early. I have a rehearsal soon and I will have to try and knock out 4 laps after it hopefully the wind dies down 🤞🤞

First 16km DONE

Saturday 20th Jun

After my breakfast of champions i headed out into the wetlands and started my bike. 4km is 1 lap around the wetlands and I have done 4 so far and the whole amount I have to do will be 20 laps. Half of the course was a head wind and my back is a bit sore from being stooped on my bike. My next update will be at around 2 when I go out for 2 or 3 laps after my hockey game

Breakfast of champions before I start my first kms
