Cure Kids’ Red Nose Day fundraiser has launched with the help of Fastway Couriers New Zealand.
The company will deliver thousands of red noses across the country.
Fastway general manager Mark Little says the company is pleased to support Cure Kids by delivering all the merchandise free of charge.
“We will be delivering about 200,000 pieces of merchandise for their annual Red Nose Day appeal.”
For Mr Little, supporting Cure Kids is a cause close to his heart.
“My daughter suffered from a rare form of cancer and is now thankfully in full remission. I know how hard and challenging it is for parents and their sick children.
“It’s great to be able to get behind an organisation that is funding research to help improve outcomes for kids like my daughter.”
Cure Kids chief executive, Frances Benge, says that the support of Fastway Couriers is a vital part of the campaign’s success.
“It’s a huge job getting all our merchandise out to the hundreds of schools, businesses and individuals that fundraise for us all over New Zealand.
“This support helps reduce our overall campaign costs which ultimately allows us to fund more important research to improve health outcomes for Kiwi kids.”
The Red Nose Day appeal starts on September 1 and runs throughout the month, with Red Nose Day falling on Friday September 29.
