Step up, get active and support vulnerable people this winter with Red Cross Journey
Launched last year, Red Cross Journey is our annual fundraising step-challenge with a difference - you also get to learn about a real-life journey of someone involved with Red Cross. Join Brad and follow the journey of a Red Cross member volunteering in their community or a former refugee now living in New Zealand, while fundraising for us.
Choose the journey you want to follow and set your own challenge, including your distance and your fundraising target. Whether it’s 5,000 (approx. 4kms) or 10,000 (approx. 8kms) steps a day, whatever distance you choose make it a challenge for you and feel the added benefits of moving more and getting outside during the cooler months.
For those less able to walk or run, we also have other options for participating - get in touch to find out how Red Cross Journey can be adapted for you.
The more distance you cover, the more you’ll learn about the journey you have chosen to follow, through regular video updates.
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
