From the small town of Clevedon Village, The Young and the Wrestlers will embark on a journey of epic proportions (it has been likened to the road to Mordor) to help raise money for a worthy cause.
Introducing Blade, Laser, Blazer, and Mishell!
Hi everybody! I'm Chris 'Blade' Jarrett and I'm 19 years old and currently studying Engineering at Auckland University. Just a little bit about me; I was born in England but have been in New Zealand pretty much my whole life (and I'm supporting the All Blacks, so there we go!). My favourite sport is soccer and I'm a big Man U fan, but I like all sports, really. I also like to play the guitar and piano. As for movies and that and all that jazz, nothing beats a classic like The Lion King, although the Dark Knight's pretty awesome as well (go Christopher Nolan!). Favourite foods include lasagne, nachos and pasta, but let's be honest, being a male I like most food. So that's probably enough about me for the moment. I'll pass on to Lazer! ....
I'm Emma "The Laser" Compston. Like my personality, I enjoy anything extreme.. preferably in the outdoors. Currently I am a student at AUT on the shore (hollah) studying to become an outdoor instructor on wicked things like tramping expeditions, rock climbing, abseiling, high ropes and kayaking trips. I have a very sweet tooth and am constantly eating too many lollies and drinking too sweet coffee. I'm nervous for the 100 km walk but am always down for a challenge (mostly to show the boys how tough us girls can be!). Now I've had my rant lets try pass this on the Blazer!
Right!!!
Hi im "Blazer" and I eat dinosaurs for breakfast. I enjoy the outdoors like "Laser" as well as snowboarding and cricket. I am currently studying at Unitec for a cert of narrative and have completed Cert in Zoology. But now the second in charge shall give it to the leader. Me Shell!!!
Take it away Captain!
So we save the best for last, Im Clinton 'Me'Shell' Allen, I'm 20 years old and I currently work for Green Fingers (garden bins and bags collection). I'm super fit, thanks to my job and love doing anything outdoors, like tramping, climbing kayaking and running. you name it i'll probably like it. Im Choosing to do the oxfam trailwalk because i like setting myself challenges and pushing myself to the limit. I'm also doing it because its for a good cause that finds lasting solutions to poverty and injustice.So that's us! We hope you feel super-informed about our team now. We're all super-excited about this-it's gonna be wild and we hope that you're all as excited as we are.
Cheers,
The Young and the Wrestlers
