617km for hope

$10,170 donated
Given by 152 generous donors in around 5 months

Last year 617 kiwis took there life, I will run 617km in one week, 1km for each individual.

My Name is Morgan, an I’m a 26 year old who’s always been fascinated with pushing myself to my limits, to see where it can take me , I have always been passionate about mental health awareness and one way to put two and two together is to push myself by doing endurance challenges while raising money for a charity which does amazing work for our communities and our tamarki

I’m going to Run 617km around Hagley Park in Christchurch. 1km for each individual who took their life last year. I will run 100km a day for 6 days, day 7 17km

I would like to prove that even myself who runs this distance will be labelled as a “savage” also struggles with my mental heath at times, and that’s okay

Please share, donate and start the conversation, we can make a difference together.
