Viv running for Race4Life!

Dear friends,

As Founder and GM of this beautiful Trust, I have been asked to share my story of inspiration. As a runner for 30 odd years, I have never needed any inspiration to run. My passion has always been there. So much to the point, that I ran so much, I had an an ankle replacement in 2012! Living in the South Island next to the lakeside tracks, I am now able to run a little more, without compromising my new ankle.

Given the opportunity to raise funds for Race4Life by running half marathon at the Northshore Marathon event, has made me focus on not one, but all 500 patients whose wishes we have fulfilled over the last 6 years. Our work is truly beautiful and we as a Trust are privy to the very best of humanity, as we facilitate these wishes for patients and their families. Communities all over New Zealand do all they can to help make dreams come true.

We lost 31 patients last year, whose wishes were not fulfilled due to Covid 19 restrictions. We do not want the same to happen again this year, due to lack of funds.

We do so need your support. Please donate/sponsor me as I meander my way around the North Shore of Auckland on September 5th. Bear in mind that we are doing this to help create cherished memories in the hearts of all; patients, families and communities throughout New Zealand.
