I’m planning a photography trip to the USA in October 2012. Taking a sweep through the West across to the Mid-West. The plan is to hit a few of the amazing National Parks on the way; Grand Canyon, Zion, Grand Teton, Yellowstone and the Badlands. My adorable daughter wants to come along for a ride – well part of the way at least (to LA). From there she is visiting her Auntie in Iowa while I drive across country. She misses her cousins so much and really wants to see them; being so far away is hard!

So, I’ve challenged her to raise at least part of her airfare from NZ to the USA. She has come-up with a bunch of cool ideas and one of these is 10KM sponsor walk. In the theme of the Olympics she is asking for sponsorship on a “medals” basis. She is doing her walk (weather permitting) on 2 September 2012. Would you consider helping her? We will take some photos as she goes along!
