Upcoming Fundraising Events
Nicola Collins Queenstown Marathon
15th November 2025
My challenge is doing the Queenstown Marathon – Saturday 15th November 2025.
In 2001, I had a paragliding accident in Queenstown that left me with two broken vertebrae, a shattered pelvis, and a severed spinal cord. I was 12 at the time, a lucky factor that meant I was eventually able to walk again, albeit with a limp due to neurological damage effecting my right leg.
MY TARGET: $5,000
Raised: $4,840 / Goal: $5,000
Steve’s Kopiko Adventure
Starting 25th January 2026
Starting 25th January 2026 I’ll be riding the Kopiko Aotearoa Trail – from East Cape to Cape Egmont … over 1,000 kms!
I’m taking on this adventure to raise money for NZST in gratitude for the support I’ve received.
My body is a little different now, but with ongoing rehab and exercise, I know my Kopiko Adventure is an achievable goal.
MY TARGET: $22,000
Raised: $30 / Goal: $22,000
