🚶‍♂️💥Kia Kori te Tinana – Let’s Move!💥🏃‍♀️

Join us as we support the Rise+Shine Run Club and the Josiah Mika Foundation to reach new heights in empowering young people and their whānau!🙌

The Rise+Shine Run Club is a vibrant, rangatahi-led initiative that’s now in its third year and growing! With more young people & whānau joining us each year, we're passionate and committed to supporting this powerful kaupapa for the long haul, empowering our youth to lead, thrive, and create lasting change in their communities.

We’re fundraising to get our young athletes out there competing in exciting events like the Auckland Marathon and Toi Challenge in Whakatāne, as well as the Tarawera Ultra 50km🌟 These events are more than just runs – they’re a way to raise funds that directly support and deliver community initiatives for tamariki and rangatahi in South Auckland and the Eastern Bay of Plenty, focusing on sport, education, and youth development.

Your support will empower young people to rise above adversity, build resilience, thrive and shine, helping them reach their full potential through sport, education, and community engagement🌱✨
