2026km in 2026 for The Kidney Society

In 2026, I’m challenging myself to run 2026 kilometres to raise funds for The Kidney Society. This big goal is inspired by my grandad, who is living with kidney disease.

Running 2026km will be tough, but it’s still nothing compared to what people with kidney disease go through every single day. The physical, emotional, and financial burden of kidney disease doesn’t just affect the individuals, it impacts the whole whānau.

By supporting this fundraiser, you’re helping provide education, advocacy, and support for those living with kidney disease across Aotearoa. Every donation, no matter the size, helps make a real difference. Thank you for supporting me, my grandad, and all those impacted by kidney disease.

All funds will go directly to The Kidney Society, making it possible to provide services to those who need them, FREE of charge...

$20 can provide a Wellness Pack to a client.

$75 can provide a home visit for a client.

$350 average cost to support one patient, and their family, for a year.

$500 larger financial gifts help us towards opening another Community Dialysis House.
