The Cure for Kids Challenge raced through Bulls yesterday afternoon, with the 46 racers involved trying their luck on the mechanical bull and downing shots of chilli sauce and the like before speeding off.
Pictured is Stacey Priscott of Taupo, about to take a tum-bull but hanging in the saddle for a few more seconds, watched by cowboy in charge, Tony Hunter.
The $10 Queenstown Challenge for Cure Kids sees 23 teams of two taking on an adventure from Auckland to Queenstown over three days with just $10 in their pockets. The teams reach Queenstown on Saturday.
The event is a major annual fundraiser for Cure Kids and requires each team to fundraise a minimum of $7000 for children's health research in order to be a part of the action.
