I'm celebrating turning 25 by running 5K every day in May to raise funds for Everybody Eats 🍲🏃♀️

Kia ora everybody (haha, see what I did there),
Courtney here 👋 I’m turning the big 2-5 this year, and to mark my 25th trip around the sun, I’ve decided to challenge myself and fundraise for a cause that’s close to my heart. So without further ado... introducing:
5K EVERYDAY IN MAY!
All in support of the amazing organisation — Everybody Eats.
So what does this mean? I’ll be running 5km every single day in May — intentionally carving out time each day to get moving. If I can’t run on a given day, I’ll still be walking or jogging to hit that 5K mark.
Everybody Eats means a lot to me. Back in mid-2021, during my final year of uni, I found myself with a lot of unexpected free time (don’t ask — totally stuffed up my classes lol). I was keen to volunteer but didn’t know where to start... then bless the Facebook algorithms, Everybody Eats popped up!
I was blown away by the concept: turning surplus food into beautiful, nourishing meals — and offering these to anyone, no matter your background or circumstances. I got to be part of a community filled with incredible humans — volunteers and guests alike — and made some lifelong friends. I’m now based in Christchurch but send so much love to the EE whānau. You’re amazing and let's do this⚡
Thank you so much tīma 🙏 3 June 2025
HI TEAM!!
I can’t thank you enough for supporting me through 5K Everyday in May and donating to Everybody Eats. Together, we raised $2,540—going straight into their mission of feeding bellies not bins 💪🍲🥗
It was such a full-on but rewarding month. I’m so stoked I set myself this challenge and had a platform to stay accountable. Thank you for following along team.
What’s next? Watch this space 😉 (honestly no idea yet- but I’ll get thinking)
Ngā mihi nui,
Courtney
