As far as charity work goes, helping LBC with the Fired Up Events team as a breeze. Each year I’m invited to help out, and it’s a highlight on my volunteer calendar. Great laughs and big smiles, even after they’ve run up the tower! Ha ha. Big thanks to Scotty, Fired Up Events and all
The work that all the staff of the Auckland Spinal Unit (Parafed, nurses, physio’s and the TASC office themselves) do an amazing job supporting this people through a very challenging time. Sharing my journey with this group, in this environment is hard, it always is. Going back to where I learned some tough truths about myself
Another year, another suit for Round the Bay’s 🙂 This year I wasn’t able to get the suit I wanted, so settled for a favourite of many children, the Panda suit. However I put a little spin on it, with a Sombrero sewn into the head. Ha ha. It was like adding a sail to

This was only the 5th year that Fired Up Events has run this challenge and yet they still managed to put a new roof on the cheque book! This years fundraising took in over $400,000 for LBC 😀 That is a mammoth effort from all thee corporate climbers who pay (through fundraising) to have the
Wow, they wrote an article on me and paid me! This is the 8th article on me and my endeavours over the years. Always fills me with a warmth thats hard to explain. The first thing I wanted to do, each time this happens, is send a copy to my mum. Both my mother and
After changing my costume choice several times, I finally settled on a panda for this years Round the Bays (Auckland). Turns out, that was by far the best choice! Children and adults alike enjoyed running with, calling out, and taking photos with the wheelie cool panda. Again I mangled the 16.8km (8.4km race, but I
So after many months of training, the Team NZ, took our game to the Australian’s! There was a huge amount of competition at this event, as after this, there is only one more event to gain a slot for Rio 2016. We had our work cut out for us. I enjoyed the person rivalry we
