The Great 100 Year Bike Ride for Cholmondeley
Inspired by our friend René Heyde who biked across Australia for Cholmondeley last year, Cholmondeley's Patron Nuk Korako and Chairperson Nettles Lamont have taken on their own challenge - The Great 100 Year Bike Ride for Cholmondeley.
Together, Nuk and Nettles are cycling the length of New Zealand's North Island together to fundraise for and celebrate 100 years of Cholmondeley Children's Centre.
This is Nuk's second ride raising money for a cause close to his heart. In 2022 he rode from Christchurch to Bluff raising funds for a young woman in need of life-changing surgery.
Nettles and Nuk started at Cape Reinga on Saturday 11th January and hope to take two weeks to pedal the more than 1,000 kilometres to Wellington.
Following the North Island journey a South Island ride will begin in late March or April, with corporate teams encouraged to join for 150 km segments. Further details to come.
During their ride Nuk and Nettles also aim to connect with Cholmondeley alumni to hear stories of their time at the centre. If you are interested in meeting with them, please get in touch with Cholmondeley.
We are so grateful for Nuk and Nettles' support and wish them all the best on their adventure.
