Participating in Achilles NZ Auckland Marathon Fundraising Team
Bay of Plenty
This is Tamahau. I'm a 12 year old disabled Achilles International NZ long distance runner from Tauranga. I've competed in over 80 track and road and trail running events ( including being guided by Sam Ruthe at the Colgate games) thanks to Achilles advocating for me at events and providing guides so I can see.
Long distance running has helped me build confidence, make new friends, travel NZ while doing something I love. In NZ there are very little opportunities for disabled youth to compete in events that are not sprints. I want to raise funds for Achilles so that other disabled youth can have the same amazing opportunities I've had over the last three years.
Achilles NZ is fundraising at the Auckland Marathon 2026!
