53 Peaks. One day. One purpose.

Kia ora, I’m Zane Seddon, founder of Level Playing Field.

I’m attempting to run all 53 peaks in Auckland within 24 hours.

Why? Because I believe in doing hard things.

Every day, the rangatahi we support face challenges that go far beyond sport. Barriers to participation, to belonging, and often to positive mental health. When young people feel disconnected or left out, it takes a real toll.

Sport can change that.

It builds confidence, creates connection, and supports both physical and mental wellbeing. But too many young people miss out because of cost or circumstance.

This challenge is about pushing limits and choosing discomfort so we can help make things just a little bit easier for them.

Level Playing Field exists to remove barriers and create opportunities through sport. Every dollar raised goes towards helping rangatahi access the gear, fees, and support they need to be part of something bigger and to feel better within themselves.

This is not just about 53 peaks.

It is about stronger, more connected, healthier young people.

If you are able to support, it would mean a lot.
