ABOUT THE WEET-BIX TRYATHLON FOUNDATION

The Weet-Bix TRYathlon Foundation was established in 2007 by Sanitarium staff. Its purpose is to remove the barriers to entry, so that the Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon is open to all kids regardless of their circumstances, and accessible to as many families as possible.

We achieve this goal through subsidising entries, or the donation of equipment such as a bikes and helmets.

WE WANT TO GIVE EVERY KIWI KIDS THE CHANCE TO TRY ON A WEET-BIX KIDS TRYATHLON T-SHIRT

The Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon strives to create a life-changing experience for kids in a fun, safe and dynamic environment. We see the Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon t-shirt as a symbol of resilience, camaraderie and self-confidence and we want to provide the opportunity to all kids to be able to try it on.

Your nomination or donation will make a positive difference in Kiwi kids’ lives and help them TRY IT ON.

100% of all donations go to helping more Kiwi kids take part in the Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon.

BIKE IT FORWARD

The Weet-Bix TRYathlon Foundation has teamed up with Bike Barn to BIKE IT FORWARD and give Kiwi kids the chance to participate in the TRYathlon by providing them with their very own bike, all thanks to you!

Many of us have bikes that our kids have outgrown, so why not donate those bikes and BIKE IT FORWARD?

Each donated bike will be given an overhaul by Bike Barn mechanics, and then gifted to Kiwi kids identified by the Weet-Bix TRYathlon Foundation.

If you are in Auckland bikes can be donated at any Auckland Bike Barn store or dropped into Sanitarium (124 Pah Rd, Royal Oak). Alternatively, Bike Barn MAY BE ABLE TO COLLECT the bikes from your home. To arrange a bike collection, call 09 267 1245 and select option 1 during business hours (9am-5pm Monday to Friday) or email bikebarn@bikeitforward.co.nz
Donated bikes need to be between 16” and 24 inches (wheel diameter), suitable for 7 to 15 year old children and of a reasonable condition.

We thank you in advance for getting behind this awesome project,
The BIKE IT FORWARD squad
