Some of the ‘droppers’ practising for their jump off the Kawarau Bridge in Queenstown next month. A crew of Southlanders are preparing to jump 43 metres for charity next month. They will bungee jump off the Kawarau Bridge in Queenstown on October 30 to raise money for the Graeme Dingle Foundation Drop for Youth. The Graeme Dingle Foundation, founded by Sir Graeme Dingle and Jo-anne Wilkinson, works directly with schools using the great outdoors, learning sessions, inspirational leaders and world-class mentors to help tamaraki and rangatahi aged five to 18 develop resilience, build self-belief and set future goals. Howley had worked with the Graeme Dingle foundation as a Kiwi Can leader during 2017 after a season-ending injury, which made him realise how important their work was.
