Raising funds to support Jess's whānau as they navigate these next steps without her.

Auckland

After a brief and intense fight with breast cancer the stunner that was our beautiful Jess sadly passed away last week. A few of us met Jess online through a fitness community and, although over time we moved away from that particular community, the friendship we fostered amongst each other has kept us connected through these many years. In honour of our beautiful Jess and how she would champion us all through various fitness/life/work challenges, we've decided to champion her with a walk/run in her honour. Her community of fitness friends are hoping to raise funds to support Jess's husband Tim, and their gorgeous bubba Euan, as they navigate this new path of grief.

Jess is a friend I originally met online through a fitness community called Tone It Up back in 2015. We eventually met in person and have be friends ever since.

Use of funds

The funds raised will be used to support Jess's husband Tim, bubba Euan, and whānau as they navigate this journey of loss.
