“At 21 years of age I have the dream and aspiration to become a Paralympic Gold Medallist, a World Champion, the best possible athlete that I can be. Support is the foundation that goals and dreams are built on and I know myself what a difference support can make. I am proud to be involved with What’s Up because its goal is supporting young people. By working with What's Up, I feel that I am helping other young people to set goals and create new and exciting possibilities like I have.”

Peter Urlich

Peter has been involved with NZ music since his high school days when he formed the nucleus of legendary rockers, Th' Dudes. As lead singer in the band, Peter set the scene for a long career in the entertainment industry . He is also recognised as having pioneered the dance music scene setting up many influential clubs and bars through the 80s, via his dance music compilations and then his work with Nice'n'Urlich. He was involved in the groundbreaking TV show "Popstars" which created TrueBliss. The famous Groove in the Park series of outdoor events was his concept. Peter has always had a love of swing music and lately his new album, "Between You and Me" and his dine and dance events have been very well received.

"I decided to get involved with Whats Up when I competed in Dancing With The Stars and the more I learned about their work with youngsters, the more it appealed. What's Up is direct, instant and sensitive assistance given to NZ kids who are having issues - and who could blame them in these crazy times. It respects their individuality and place in this world. It's also pre-emptive and addresses issues hopefully before they go any further. As a father of two, I am thankful that my boys would be able to use What's Up if they ever needed to."
