Go a set distance over one month and learn what it’s like to flee a country
Get moving for good! Step up, get fit as we head into winter – and do your bit to help vulnerable people both at home in the New Zealand and overseas. Join the Red Cross Journey and choose to follow either the journey of a former refugee family traveling to safety across dangerous terrain, or one of our Disaster Welfare & Support Team volunteers as they train and respond to emergencies around New Zealand.
You’ll aim to cover the same distance as you learn about their challenges, sacrifices and fears along the way, and their hopes and aspirations for the future. And by fundraising over the month, you’ll be joining the Red Cross family of good people doing good things in your community and around the world.
