The Neonatal Trust is about to begin its biggest fundraising effort ever, the Ride4Life charity road cycle ride.
For three weeks a team of cyclists, including former All Black Christian Cullen, will put their lives on hold as they bike the length of New Zealand, aiming to raise $1 million
for the trust.
Christian said with four children under five he had learnt very quickly how important healthy kids were, but many are not. Ten per cent of all babies born in New Zealand, about 6000 every year, find themselves in a hospital neonatal unit.
The Neonatal Trust supports their families during what can be a traumatic time, helps buy special equipment for neonatal care units and contributes to medical research.
The trust doesn't receive any government funding, and relies on donations, sponsorship and fundraising.
