Richie McCaw was one of several Kiwi celebs who stepped out last night to attend a gala dinner for New Zealand child health charity Cure Kids, held at the top of the iconic Auckland Museum.

The event was a celebration of the launch of the 2016 Cure Kids GODZone adventure team, which will see Richie working alongside other Kiwi sporting stars to take on a challenging expedition race in the Tasman District early next month.

Together, the team are aiming to raise more than $300,000 for child medical research through their efforts.
