Petra Marathon 2024 In Memory of Masada

Suicide is the Method. Abuse Trauma, Grief, Silence and being Silenced are the causes of Death.

UPDATE: We only have $8,000 more to raise ❤️🎉

Kia Ora, my name is Lauren Piiata Tiakitai Turi-Heenan. My beautiful Sun Masada took his life on the 12.05.2020, just before his 33rd birthday, after battling and navigating through the moment to moment of the trauma of S…al Abuse as a child, by a man, at a business dinner we never wanted to attend.

This predator then took his own life a week later, robbing Masada of his process and justice. Masada felt as if he was dying many times over. PTSD.

May 12th 2024 will mark Masada’s 4th Memorial. On September 3rd this year We, my daughter Ahavah and I, will be releasing Masada's energy on top of Mt Masada and then on the 5th September, We will run in the Petra Marathon in honour of Masada’s memory.

Some of Masada’s happiest moments as a child, were discovering things, new information and drawing, painting, sketching and creating. He spoke excitedly of sketching Petra, the Pyramids and climbing Mt Masada, life became busy for Masada, he was a proud Dad to his 3 beautiful children. He never forgot his dream.

Shortly before he passed, he told me laughingly, that we’d get there one day, together… We never did.

We’ve been working hard and We only need to raise $8,000 of the $24,000.00 Any amount donated is appreciated as it all adds up ❤️
