SAVE THE BRAVE - MENNA EVANS GUINNESS WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT - RUN NEW ZEALAND

$1,350 donated
Given by 29 generous donors in 7 weeks

Guinness World Record attempt to run the length of NZ. Helping NZDF and First Responders with mental health.

Nationwide

Over the period of Dec 19 - Jan 2020 Menna plans to run the full length of New Zealand. That's top to bottom of both islands! The total distance is approximately 1,400 miles. Menna will be running 34 miles a day for 42 consecutive days to complete this challenge. Thats like 42 consecutive Marathons!

This challenge will be dedicated to my late cousin, Ian Davies. He struggled with mental health issues and sadly passed away last November. I am not afraid to admit, that I also suffered with depression and anxiety, it can be so debilitating. Every year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem. But hundreds of thousands of people are still struggling.

I therefore couldn’t think of a more poignant charity to be raising money for than - SAVE THE BRAVE who is helping the men and women of NZDF and First Responders with alternative support therapies.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
