One 1/2 and one full marathon to raise funds for Zac and Laura

Warkworth, Auckland

I’ve decided to create my own fundraising challenge for some of my close friends, Zac and Laura, who are currently navigating their new lives after Zac's spinal cord injury.

The challenge

Between now and September, I will be running:

1. A half marathon (Orewa 14th June)

2. A full marathon (North shore 6th September)

That’s a lot of kms for Laynie's little legs (plus training) - every kilometre dedicated to Zac and Laura, and the journey they’re on.

Zac and Laura are two of my closest friends, and watching them adapt to such a huge life change has been incredibly humbling. I can’t fix what they’re going through, but I can show up in other ways. This experience has been a powerful reminder that movement and independence can be taken away far too easily.

How you can support....

If you’d like to be part of this journey, there are a few ways you can help. I know there is already a primary donation page out there but I wanted to create something that encourages movement and mental focus too. Therefore, you are welcome to donate but you are also welcome to run with me!

- Donate if you can. All funds raised will go directly to Zac and Laura to help cover ongoing costs and support Zac's recovery

- Run with me. Join me for a training run or even an event to help keep me motivated and accountable.

- Share this page, every bit of visibility helps.

Thank you so much for being part of this journey with me 💛

2% Effective Fee
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.
