Red Nose Day fun in North Canterbury
A charity car rally has raised $32,000 for children's mental health research and the development of an app designed to help parents support their children's well-being.
The Avis Budget Group Cure Kids 1000 hit the road on Red Nose Day with nine teams driving in convoy from Christchurch, through the North Canterbury back roads to Hanmer Springs, and back again to raise vital funds for a new app called Kakano.
Bruce Vincer, general manager, New Zealand Avis Budget Group, says his colleague, Rodney Swinney, wanted to organise a fun way to raise money for Cure Kids and came up with the idea of a charity car rally. He says "Mental health is a serious issue in our society, and it is important our young people are able to get the help and support they need."
