Ks for Kiwis - raising money through a cardio challenge!

Wellington

Foundation is a community gym in the heart of Wellington that brings together busy professionals to take time out of their day to care for their health and fitness. We’ve been supported by many people across our lives, and throughout our career - and it’s time to give back.

On Wednesday 8 October, the Foundation gym is coming together to attempt to travel the length of Aotearoa New Zealand (that’s 1,600kms!) - in 12 hours (6am - 6pm), and we want you to join us on the journey.

The event will take place at Foundation Gym, 159 The Terrace, Wellington

Why are we doing the day?

As a community based gym, the Foundation team has been supported by people across New Zealand, and it’s time to give back.

And it’s no coincidence we’re running this day during Mental Health Awareness Week (https://mhaw.nz/). This is because we want to give you an opportunity to take some time out, connect with your colleagues and friends, and move for wellness - because physical health and mental health go hand in hand.

100% of your donations go to these our three chosen charities.

Here’s how you can be part of it:

✔️ Register a team or as an individual for a 45 min cardio challenge Sign up here: https://forms.gle/rLSbmv5afy673dfGA

✔️ Donate - 100% of the money raised will be split equally across our three charities

✔️ Follow us on social media and like, comment & share our posts to help us spread the word: xhttps://www.instagram.com/foundationgym.nz/
