Kepler Challenge

Support Fiordland St John Volunteer Ambulance Officers and secure your place in the Kepler Challenge before online entry opens.

As a community run event, an important goal for the organising committee is to support community projects in Fiordland. Following the success of the Charity Challenge in 2009, which raised $10,000 for the youth of Fiordland, the funds raised this year will be given to Fiordland St John to support training of volunteer Ambulance Officers.

Fiordland St John has a number of volunteer Ambulance Officers providing a vital service to our community. As recipients of the Charity Challenge they will be able to undertake training which will enhance their ability to fill their role supporting both the local community and the many visitors Fiordland attracts.

The organising committee would like to offer you the opportunity to take the 'Charity Challenge' to help raise these funds. 

We are offering 10 'Charity Challenge' spaces at a cost of $1000 each. The full amount you pay will be given to Fiordland St John, so the donation received by them from the 10 spaces will total $10,000. This will provide a huge boost and really make a difference to their organization. For this donation you will receive: your entry into the event before the online system opens; an event T-shirt; and breakfast, courtesy of the Organising Committee.
If you are interested in taking this amazing opportunity to guarantee your place in the Kepler Challenge whilst at the same time making a significant contribution to Fiordland's volunteer ambulance service, please register your interest with the Organising Committee no later than Saturday 19th June. Spaces will be filled on a ‘first come-first served basis.

'Charity Challenge' spaces are for the Kepler Challenge event only and are non-refundable. The normal conditions of entry apply (see website for full details of these).
