Shaun Wallace returns to New Zealand for another Cure Kids fundraising tour

Shaun Wallace is heading back to New Zealand for another quiz tour, with the return visit doubling as a fundraiser for Cure Kids. The Chase star, known on television as the Dark Destroyer, says he needed little persuading to come back and is honoured to support the charity for a second time. Wallace explained that meeting children who benefit from Cure Kids makes him especially determined to raise as much money as possible on their behalf. His support for young people, the article says, is not limited to the charity work. Although he does not have children of his own, he is godfather to 15 people, all now adults, including two named Shaun. He also spoke about his close relationship with Jay-Ann, his former partner’s daughter, who is 34 and works in technology and gaming in the United States. Wallace says he helped raise her from the age of two and regards her as a daughter. He told the publication that they speak regularly and that she treats him like her dad. The upcoming visit will be his sixth to New Zealand. Wallace says he enjoys exploring the country and making time for the people he meets during his trips. The article describes a strong affection for the country, which has made his return for another fundraising tour an easy decision. Beyond the quiz events, Wallace’s New Zealand connection has included meeting families and children linked with the cause. His account puts personal relationships at the centre of his charitable work: he says those encounters deepen his motivation to use his profile to raise funds. Wallace is widely recognised as one of the Chasers on the British quiz show, but this visit gives him a different role. The tour combines his television fame with a practical fundraising effort, while allowing him to revisit a country he has come to enjoy. The source reports that he is looking forward to returning and helping Cure Kids raise money for children and families.
