North2South Expedition aims to raise money for two amazing projects.
Sir Peter Blake Trust
Sir Peter Blake was an inspiring and visionary kiwi leader. The Trust keeps Sir Peter's leadership legacy alive by recognising and celebrating leaders across all fields and pursuits through the Sir Peter Blake Leadership Awards. These Blake Leaders, awarded at the beginning of Leadership Week, join a growing group of individuals who follow in the footsteps of Sir Peter and possess many of the characteristics admired in him.
A life spent on the world's oceans instilled in Sir Peter Blake the certainty that action is needed to preserve and protect this precious resource. Today, the Trust seeks to carry on his work through the Care for Our Coast programme, which involves thousands of school children developing awareness and cleaning up the marine environment. The annual Sir Peter Blake Youth EnviroLeaders' Forum empowers 50 young kiwis with knowledge and confidence to take action on topical environmental issues. Every year the Trust sends one young kiwi ambassador to Antarctica, a place Sir Peter found awe-inspiring, and in 2012 will take 30 young New Zealanders to the Kermadec Islands as members of the Young Blake Expedition.
