I am doing the Hamilton Round The Bridges walk in full costume to raise money for The Starship Foundation

WHY I'M DOING IT
I am a member of Outpost 42 Garrison which is New Zealand's representative of the worldwide Star Wars Costuming Group, the 501st Legion.

"While we wear the costumes of Stormtroopers, Sith Lords, Bounty Hunters and other villains of the Star wars films, we dedicate much of our time towards assisting charities and community groups earning us the tagline 'Bad Guys doing good'.
I know there is a need and if I can help in my own way, I will gladly take one for the team, in doing so raising some money for all the brave kids and parents who are the real heroes.
This is why on Sunday November 13th 2022, I will be walking the 6km of the "The Lugton's Round the Bridges" event in Hamilton wearing a screen accurate replica Stormtrooper costume.
So…

Please help a plastic spacemen support some kids and their families by donating through my link to The Starship Foundation
We will see you at the start line.

Thanks in advance
Alistair Richardson aka Hamilton Trooper
