Fiji Water Flying Fijians Support WOW’s Kids Through Cardio Challenge

The Fiji Water Flying Fijians has announced its “London to Bordeaux” Cardio Challenge in support of children with cancer at WOW’s Kids.

The idea emerged after their historic test match win against England with the aim to maintain fitness, boost morale, and engage public support.

Strength and Conditioning Coach, Naca Cawanibuka said the team is embarking on a cardio challenge from Monday the 28th of August.

“The goal is to raise funds and awareness for the Wow’s Kids program back home. It’s a great opportunity for us as a team and also for all our players to connect back to our people and also to assist our children and their families who are battling cancer,” Mr Cawanibuka said.

“It’s a great way to give back to those who love the team and to those who we represent.”

He said players and staff are to accumulate a total of 30 kilometers spread across the whole week.

“The accumulated distance for all staff and players put together is actually the distance travelled from London to our base camp in Bordeaux,” Mr Cawanibuka said.

“The involvement of the Fiji Water Flying Fijians will bring much-needed attention to child cancer in Fiji and the devastating journey the 80+ children and their families go through.”

The Fiji Water Foundation have given their full support and will match everyone’s donation up to $50,000.

The Flying Fijians will document their daily progress and content will be compiled and disseminated across various social media platforms, allowing the public to closely follow the team’s physical endeavors and their charitable contributions.

Support for the players challenge can be made via the M-PAiSA app through under Business payments and searching for Fiji Rugby Football Union Trust Board.

Donations via Bank Transfer can be made through Westpac account.
