ACCOR’s New Zealand hotels have been raising money to help fund research against the high incidence of rheumatic heart disease in New Zealand children. The Accor Kiwi Trek to Cure Kids program has currently raised more than $120,000 for the Cure Kids Charity during its Amazing Race style event. New Zealand hoteliers from the brand gathered into groups to complete challenges between Queenstown and Auckland participating in a number of challenges including running through Redwood Forest in Rotorua, a cycling leg through the Central Otago Rail Trail and jumping off both the Auckland Harbour Bridge and the Sky Tower. Accor’s Kiwi trek event organiser Murray Davison said the event saw a few “bruised bodies and a few bruised egos” but the satisfaction came when the cheque for $120,131 was presented. “It was fantastic to see them all welcome the challenge, put themselves out there and do this for the kids”. |
