ABOUT CURE KIDS

We are absolutely delighted and proud to announce that leading New Zealand child health research funder, Cure Kids, has been named as the recipient charity of GODZone. As our event continues to grow and thrive we have been considering for some time how we can use our strong domestic and international platform for the greater good. By choosing Cure Kids as our official charity recipient we aim to help raise funds and awareness of the vital child health research they fund each year.

Our alignment with Cure Kids is something that hopefully will inspire our adventure racing community to rally behind and help raise funds for this important research. We will be actively encouraging teams and their family, friends and supporters to get behind our recipient charity and spread the word about the great work they are doing. Cure Kids funds research into cures and better treatments for a wide range of childhood illnesses. These include cot death (SUDI), stillbirth, leukaemia, rheumatic heart disease, asthma, inherited heart conditions and mental health conditions.

You, the competitors, face some tough challenges out in the wilderness and inspire tens of thousands of viewers watching your stoic progress on the Live Coverage site. However, this is nothing compared to the challenges some children and their families face on a day-to-day basis. We hope that by choosing Cure Kids as our recipient charity that you will be inspired to make a difference and also put your own race induced suffering into some kind of perspective.
