Audrey 101 and Beyond - Donor Update
23 October 2025
Thank you for your donation and for “walking the talk” alongside Audrey as she and her friends complete 101 laps to raise at least $101,000 to bring Methven Central Care Home, home.
We’re thrilled to share we’re so close to our goal! As at 23rd October, we’ve raised an incredible $93,350—$72,124 via GiveaLittle and $21,232 in cash and direct deposits. The momentum is still building, and we’re hopeful we’ll exceed our target.
Audrey has captured hearts across the country. Everywhere we go, people speak fondly of her—her kindness, curiosity, and how she always takes time to connect. Maybe that’s the real secret to her long life, alongside gallons of water, simple food and walking, of course!
Many special stories are pouring in. Just yesterday, five nine-year-old girls arrived at Methven House with $301.20 they’d raised selling baking, bookmarks and friendship bracelets.
Community groups like the Methven Vintage Car Club and the Scarecrow Trail have rallied behind Audrey 101. Our match funders—Molloy Agriculture, Jackson Holmes, Philip Wareing Ltd, and now Craige & Roz and Noeline & Alastair MacKenzie—have helped double donations up to $35,000.
This care home project has been over a decade in the making. Thanks to Audrey, and you, we’re in the home stretch. We know more funds are coming and we’re so grateful for your belief in continuing a legacy of care for our elders.
Thank you again!
The Audrey 101 Team
PS. Audrey will be on Seven Sharp Tuesday 28th October at 7pm!
