Creina, Nicki, Lucy and Dee are walking the Queenstown Half Marathon and now want to raise funds for their EXPINKT GYM
Otago
4 Fantastic Friends
4 Survivors of Breast Cancer
4 Lucky Ladies
Creina, Nicki, Lucy and Dee – 4 strong women who have been training since June 2019 to walk the Queenstown Half Marathon on 16 November – in 3 weeks.
We have been supported by the Expinkt Gym of the Otago University (a gym for breast cancer patients) through treatment and recovery and now we want to give back.
Since March last year, the 4 of us have been diagnosed, underwent surgery and radiation and most of us also went through chemotherapy treatment. The effects physically and emotionally have taken their toll. Starting the Expinkt Gym has been a lifeline for us all. We’ve met each other and regained most of our energy and fitness. We want to thank Lynnette Jones and the personal trainers for their compassion, understanding and patience.
The funds raised are to support and help fund this incredible gym, the only one of its kind in the world.
Funds will be donated to the University of Otago Foundation Trust (CC20440) which is an approved donee organisation in New Zealand. The Trust receives and administers donations, bequests, and sponsorship monies for University and academic priorities, including EXPINKT.
Thanks for your support.

The Expinkt Gym has provided incredible support, physically and emotionally to its clients.
Any funds gained will be donated to the Expinkt gym to support it to continue to provide amazing support to cancer patients.
WE DID IT!!!! 17 November 2019
What an incredible experience!
With all that we have been through, to have achieved this after only 8 months of finishing treatment is truly amazing.
'We are athletes!'....has been a bit of a joke amongst us ladies - but maybe we are :)
We're all still in one piece, just a few twinges and sore joints, but just buzzing.
Thanks for all the amazing support everyone has given us. We found Aprille (our personal trainer) after finishing her FULL MARATHON too.
We and so many others are extremely grateful to have the continued support from the Expinkt Gym and people like yourselves.
Creina, Nicki, Lucy and Dee xx
