Datacom was proud to support the I Am Climate Hope event in Tauranga on Sunday, as part of Mike King's Ride for Hope. Throughout October, Mike and supporters have been riding around the country on e-motorbikes to raise awareness of the impact of climate change on the mental health and wellbeing of our young people, and share solutions to help make a change. Datacom Director Steve Swallow was delighted to welcome Mike and the I Am Hope crew for their penultimate stop on Sunday, which saw the highest turnout of the tour. We're looking forward to continuing our support of I Am Hope Foundation NZ's work, with Gumboot Friday coming up this Friday November 1st.
