A Half Marathon for Building Wellness Taranaki

New Plymouth, Taranaki

Building Wellness Taranaki gave a toolbox talk on our construction site at Taranaki Base Hospital a couple of weeks ago about mental health and wellness and it really impacted me so I reached out and asked whether they would be interested in some fundraising effort.

I'm running a half marathon in Sydney in a few weeks and want to dedicate the run to their cause and raise some funds their to help continue their work.

New Zealand's building industry has the highest suicide rate and at times it is easy to see why, the harden up, dont talk about it and push on mentality is ingrained in our industry.

This is such a worthy cause and honestly cannot speak highly enough of Building Wellness Taranaki and how they present tools and concepts to the building industry to help with mental health and personal struggles.

The Sydney Half Marathon is on Sunday 5th May, I will share the link on Garmin, although am far from an elite runner so the pace will not be fast. I have a finish time in mind but am not willing to share until it is done ;) will keep the page updated with my training runs! Thank you for your support ❤️

I did it!! 😍😭  5 May 2024

The half marathon is complete!! It was an intense awesome awesome run, tonnes of up and downs, both physically with the hills and emotionally haha. Absolutely beautiful course, some very intense and long up hills, had tears in my eyes as I finished. The whole last km was uphill and sped right up and dragged my lead body through. Thank you so much everyone who has given money to this cause. It will make a difference. The photo is before the run, haven't seen the after photos but I don't think I'll look as bright
