What started as an innovative Olympic fundraiser has turned into a humanitarian campaign by New Zealand Olympic kayaker Mike Dawson.
The canoe slalom star has been handing out food parcels in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, along with local kayaker Pepe Gonçalves, in their lead-up to next week's games.
Dawson has spent nine weeks training in the Brazilian city over the last six months and quickly learned about the plight of the less-fortunate in Rio.
