42.2km CatWalk Marathon
Running the Rotorua Marathon & supporting researchers in the very realistic bid for a cure for spinal cord injuries.
Northland
Never take walking, running or even freedom of movement for granted. At any moment that freedom can be taken from you. I look at my beautiful children and imagine not being able to chase them or even participate and conquer an event.
The CatWalk Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Research Trust was founded in 2005 by Catriona Williams MNZM, formerly one of New Zealand’s leading international equestrian riders. Following a riding accident in 2002, she is now C6/C7 tetraplegic and confined to a wheelchair. Initially, a group of friends planned to fundraise for Williams herself – but a bigger picture quickly became clear. A cure for paralysis was Williams’ dream – and so CatWalk was born. We believe in supporting researchers in the very realistic bid for a cure for spinal cord injuries.
Running a marathon is the least that can be done to contribute to such a worthy cause!

Victoria my friend and running buddy has inspired me to invest in fundraising for CatWalk. As a physiotherapist specialising in people & horses. Vic is so dedicated to her patients to see a better future for them. We believe that raising money for such a worthy cause will help with research, treatment & rehabilitation for those with spinal injury or paralysis.
