Upcoming Fundraising Events
Matthew’s Half Ironman
13th July 2025
I will be completing a half iron man on 13th of July in the UK.
My dad Stephen Boobyer was in a motor bike accident and he is in a wheelchair now with limited movement. I’m dedicating my race to raising funds for the New Zealand Spinal Trust, which supports Burwood Spinal Unit and others living with spinal injuries. They aren’t government-funded and rely on donations from people like you and me to continue their life-changing work.
MY TARGET: $1,000
Raised: $480 / Goal: $1,000
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: $10,000
Raised: $1,820 / Goal: $10,000
Tristen’s Year-long Ironman Challenge
7 March, 2026
My name is Tristen. My challenge is doing the Ironman 70.3 on 7 March 2026.
I’m doing this challenge for those who can’t participate in sport who had dreams and ambitions to do sport. While doing this I’ll be sharing my journey and all its highs and lows, from training to nutrition, and raise lots of money for NZST.
MY TARGET: $7,000
Raised: $120 / Goal: $7,000
