Sean Pawson and Josh Geddes are tackling the alpine crossing in 2018 in Sean's trusty bicycle-rickshaw to raise money for the families of those suffering from mental illness. Slogging up Christchurch's Port Hills in the driver's seat of a weighty rickshaw before dawn breaks is not most people's idea of a good time. JOHN KIRK-ANDERSON/STUFF Sean Pawson, pictured with passenger with Alan Jamieson, is taking on the Summit Challenge by carrying passengers up to top of the Port Hills every morning. Pawson hopes to carry 4013 kilograms worth of rickshaw and passenger weight uphill in March. Anyone wanting a free ride on Pawson's rickshaw can message The Cycle Chauffeur on Facebook, and in return are asked to make a generous donation to the cause.
