Annual Project Appeal

I will never forget the time, a few years ago now, that I sat with a couple and had a cuppa and a chat with them. He was the one who’d had the accident, and he was adjusting well – this was his new normal and he was just getting on with it. She kept saying all the right things too – was very encouraging of his plans and supportive of his needs.
Tour of NZ 2023

Permobil NZ Spinal Trust team taking off on the Tour of NZ

Every two years, a group of enthusiastic cyclists takes off on the iconic charity ride Tour Of NZ (TONZ). They head down the beautiful, rugged and frequently wet West Coast of the South Island, through the Haast Pass and up to the top of the Crown Range in Otago. It requires five days of biking in stages and covers 450 kilometres of effort on the bike. In 2025 we have a wonderful team of 24 riders taking on the challenge … all fundraising to support our work – awesome!
