Running 30 laps of Rotorua's Blue Lake to raise $30,000 for ADHD and neurodiversity support for local children and families.

Waiuku, Auckland

The week I turn 30 I’ll be taking on the Blue Lake 24 Hour Challenge in Rotorua (26-27 September), pushing through 24+ hours of running in an attempt to complete 30 laps of the lake and raise $30,000 for The Runway Foundation - a local charity supporting children, youth, and families navigating ADHD and neurodiversity in our community.

This cause is deeply personal. I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult after years of trying to make sense of things that never quite clicked for me. That diagnosis changed how I see myself and allowed me to access support I wish I'd received much earlier in life.

Now, as a parent to a neurodiverse child, I see those same challenges and needs from a completely different perspective. I understand more deeply how important early support, understanding, and community really are - and how much of a difference they can make.

Whether you donate, sponsor a lap, or simply share this page, every bit of support means so much.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
