Participating in Achilles NZ Taupō Marathon Fundraising Team 2026

Hawke's Bay

Led by myself and my wonderful co-leader Katie Lindsay, our regional chapter of Achilles New Zealand is rebuilding momentum and empowering adaptive athletes to take on events big and small, local and not-so-local. Whether it's a local fun walk or run, or a full marathon, we are here to support all the way.

Right now, I’m fundraising and would dearly appreciate your support! Your contribution will help Achilles NZ and the Hawkes Bay Chapter provide guides, equipment, and opportunities for disabled athletes to participate in mainstream athletic events, even helping us get to the starting line at this years Taupō marathon!

Our trained guides stand ready to be matched with local athletes or those from other regions — because at Achilles, nobody runs, wheels or walks alone.

Our mission is simple: to enable disabled people to participate in races, access safe and inclusive training, and connect with community. Join us to ensure that no disability stands in the way of athletic achievement. Your generosity today can help someone take their first steps towards a life-changing goal tomorrow.

Thank you so much!
