Earl Spencer visits NZ in Support of Rail Safety
Earl Spencer made his first visit for two decades to New Zealand as the guest of Toll NZ and former international cricket star Chris Cairns as the key speaker at a special rail safety fundraising dinner held in Auckland in February this year.
Like Chris, Earl Spencer understands what it is like to suddenly lose a very much-loved sister and he is delighted to be able to come to New Zealand to support Chris and the Foundation.
Earl Spencer said “I am looking forward to my first trip to New Zealand for some time. I have obviously heard a great deal about the beauty of New Zealand from Chris and it’s great to be there again to experience this. But most importantly I urge everyone to get right behind his campaign. It will be good to meet as many of you as possible at the dinner on February 17 in Auckland”.
Chris Cairns says he first met the Earl through cricket and is absolutely delighted that someone of his standing has agreed to come out to New Zealand to help launch his Foundation.
