Last year Wellington rugby player Brad Shields joined Red Cross Journey and helped us raise $44,000. This year Brad is back with us to take on Red Cross Journey for a second year.

Brad is helping spread the word about Red Cross and challenging Kiwis to step up this autumn to support vulnerable people.

Taking part in Red Cross Journey is an easy way to support Red Cross’ good work in the community and overseas, Brad says.

“It’s a fun challenge and it’s all for a good cause. It will definitely be interesting to see how many steps I do during training each week!”

By taking part or donating, you’ll be helping Red Cross make a difference in the community, from responding to disasters and supporting former refugees to teaching first aid in schools and delivering Meals on Wheels.

Join Brad and hundreds of other Kiwis this year in Red Cross Journey. Remember to hashtag your photos on social media, check back here soon for more competition details.
