Pork Pie Charity Run 2019

The Pork Pie Charity Run is held over Easter and 2019 will be the sixth edition of this quintessentially Kiwi biennial event. In homage to the beloved Kiwi classic movie 'Goodbye Pork Pie' 60 teams will drive their MINI's more than 2,500km from Kaitaia to Invercargill over six days.

Teams commit to raising funds for KidsCan and in 2017 over $200,000 was raised to help Kiwi kids in need. Competition for top spot on the fundraising leaderboard is fierce but it�s all in the name of fun and making as big a difference as possible. Click here for more info.

Tauranga Mini Owners Club have 5 teams entered this year:

Madams of Mayhem

Deidre: As a Co-owner and Director of a NZ recruitment company I see first hand the disadvantages that can occur later in life if our children are not provided with the essentials early in their education. Our company motto is "We Work to Benefit NZ� and I relish the opportunity to raise money for these children through and with the support of KidsCan as well as being able to fulfill my passion for Classic Minis by driving from Kaitaia to Invercargill as part of the 2019 Pork Pie Charity Run.

Hanna: Being passionate about Mini�s, I am excited to be travelling the length of New Zealand with my co-pilot Deidre. It was a no brainer when Deidre asked me if I wanted to do this journey with her, given that the Pork Pie Charity Run has been an item on my bucket list! I see first hand the difference Kidscan makes at a decile 1 primary school �.

Got my first Mini in 1977 and it was my first car, have since owned 7. Once retired have purchased more Minis to restore and have fun in. Have completed the Pork Pie Charity Run in a different Mini - 2013, 2015 and 2017.

Looking forward to meeting up with the other 118 Mini enthusiasts and having a blast driving the length of NZ in April 2019.
