Next saturday 19th May I will be participating in the "Tranz Alpine Scooter Safari" which is a fundraiser for Canterbury/west coast Cancer society. I will be riding my 50cc scooter from Christchurch - Hokitika. For me it is a great cause to back and also it will be in remembrance of a family friend who passed away almost 1year to date of this event. Donations of all sizes are welcome. Follow the link, sponsor me as a rider or directly sponsor the event, or come down on the day and watch us ride off.

Thanks,

Nick Campbell
