World Vision 40 Hour Challenge

WORLD VISION 40 HOUR CHALLENGE — 40 things for kids in the Pacific

Offline for a short time. Impact for a lifetime.

On Saturday, I'm doing 40 physical challenges in one day — running to the beach for water, carrying 40kg of kettlebells along the sand, a 4 min cold plunge in the ocean, 40 layups with my boys, a simple rice lunch in solidarity, and 40 prayers as the day closes.

Why? Because in the Pacific, 1 in 6 kids live in severe food poverty. That's our neighbours. And as someone who's spent years coaching young people and now leads World Vision New Zealand, I believe the next generation here can stand alongside the next generation there.

Every dollar goes to families in the Solomon Islands — seeds, tools and skills to grow food for their kids in a changing climate.

$30 = seeds for a family garden. $98 = tools and training for a whānau. $178 = a full kit to set a family up for the long haul.

If you've ever watched me coach, lead, or just turn up — please back me on this one. 

Ngā mihi nui, TJ

WV 40 Hour Challenge Done - Almost $ Goal!

Sunday 14th Jun
40 Hour Challenge — done. ✅
40kg kettlebell carry. 40 pull-ups. 40 burpees. 4km beach run. A cold plunge. Hours of basketball with the boys. 40 push-ups. 40 prayers for kids in the Pacific. And to round it out — a 4km walk with Heather and Harvey. Plenty more in between.
Hardest moment: the 4 min cold plunge.
Best moment: doing most of it alongside the family.
Most surprising guest appearance: Harvey the dog. 🐕
Big thanks to everyone who’s backed me. You’ve turned a Saturday into something that changes lives for tamariki in the Pacific
