See you in the SunriseSee You in The Sunrise We have one reason for doing this Oxfam Farm walk and that is in the memory of our wonderful sister and best friend who passed away in a Kayaking accident in Rotoura in May last year. Toni left behind her husband and 3 young sons. Toni is our inspiration. She was an elite sports woman, into kayaking, mountain safety, tramping, cycling and running to name a few. She also fully supported charities such as Oxfam. She had a heart of gold and is missed every second of every day. She is an inspiration to us all, and is in an honour to do this walk in her name. Toni’s 3 boys (Oliver 7, Riley 5 and Brae 4) and very excited about the walk, and are hoping to do the last km with us, and they are also very proud of all their’s mums achievements. Toni set goals and despite obstacles that challenged her, she would achieve them. Toni loved everything about the outdoors. She advocated for the environment and would have thoroughly enjoyed completing this walk, and it combines the enjoyment of nature, the achievement of reaching goals though inner strength and the supporting of a wonderful cause. One of our commitments to Toni at her passing was to help raise her boys with the beliefs that she had instilled in them from a young age. This walk incorporates our commitment to Toni and her children. Toni will be with us every step of the way, in our hearts and souls. We will see you in the sunrise. Michelle Russ and Janine Kiely are Toni’s sisters who are helping to raise the three boys. They come from a very close family and Toni will always be their number one. Huia O’Sullivan is Toni’s confidant and tramping buddy who shared many laughs, tears and achievements with Toni. (She’s our navigator!!) Claire Frazer is a family friend who is helping us achieve our goal. Our support crew is made up of family and friends. Toni’s two great friends who also inspired Toni to achieve her goals. Our Mum who has control of 6 grandsons for the weekend while also preparing our food and massaging our sore feet!  Fundraising summary for this teamWe have achieved 105% of our target.
