Forrest is running the Auckland Marathon to allow more life-saving suicide prevention work to continue

Auckland

We need your help.

On Sunday November 3rd, Forrest Axford is running the Auckland marathon to help those struggling with suicidal ideation. Having already cycled the length of NZ in 2021 for the same cause, this is his next step.

Since 2021, Rob Mokaraka and Healing Through Arts Trust have worked to share the Shot Bro Wellbeing and Suicide Prevention kaupapa across Aotearoa. Through this initiative, healing and support are offered to individuals, families and communities dealing with the tragedy of loss, while also seeking to prevent future heart break, here in New Zealand.

Money raised goes to help the HTA Trust ensure this life saving work can continue.

It takes a village to heal a village, so we thank you in advance.

"Asking for help is the kindest thing you can do." - Forrest Axford
