    Congratulations to the Black Ferns wahine who are World Cup champions once more. What a final! It was a game that will surely be talked about for generations.

    Speaking of memories, and finals, this is the final week of our Auckland Marathon Fundraiser, in which SM FANZ trustees are trying to raise $2000 to help establish the first wave of weekly Sporting Memories Clubs across Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.

    Thank you to all those who have already donated.

    If you’ve been meaning to, but not yet got round to doing it, please help us to help those who sadly wont remember the history made at Eden Park on Saturday night.

  • We did it!

    Both Carl and I were able to achieve our goals on Sunday, on a very, very wet Auckland morning (the polar opposite conditions to that encountered back in January). I made it to the finish line, having (slowly) run the vast majority of the way (including the final 2 km). Carl destroyed his January time, beating it by a super impressive 20mins. Now all we need to do is hit our new revised target of $1760 (our two finishing places added together). We're over half way there!

    Thanks to those who have helped us reach a quarter of our $2000 target, with 4 days to go till the big day. I did my last training run today, and tested out my new calf compression socks and my new favourite running hat... if you've not donated yet, please help us to help our fellow sport lovers living with dementia, depression and loneliness by gifting $21 or $42 to the cause.
