10kms for Ben May 💜
Honouring Ben by continuing his plans. Raising awareness and funds for his chosen charity, Epilepsy New Zealand.
International
Before Ben’s tragic death, he had been planning a campaign. A strong advocate for epilepsy, Ben wanted to raise awareness of the condition and funds for a charity close to him, Epilepsy New Zealand.
Honouring his legacy and the plans he had started, Ben’s family and closest friends decided that💜 Purple Day - World Epilepsy Awareness Day (or the Saturday nearest to it) would be dedicated to Ben and his campaign.
Our #10kmsforbenmay event asks that everyone who wants to be involved to:
Walk/run/swim/skip/bike 10km.
Post a photo of their challenge on our #10kmsforbenmay Instagram or Facebook pages.
Donate anything you can spare to Epilepsy New Zealand.
This year, our event is being held on 💜Saturday, 28th March 2026. 💜
You can join in and complete your 10 km from anywhere in the world!
