While acknowledging the sponsor, Valenitabua said the funds collected through the Cardio Challenge will go towards the WOWS Kids Fiji.
“The Flying Fijians London to Boudreaux challenge has been completed. All the members of the team and management have done their part and now it’s time for the public to come on board and be part of this initiative.”

“We fully appreciate Merchant Finance for coming on board and it has come at the best time.”
