Curly runs NZ and Oz to raise funds for hungry school kids

Nationwide

Hi I'm Curly

I am a crazy Ultra Runner and adventurer on a self-powered personal mission.

My plan is to run from Stewart Island/Rakiura to Cape Reinga (length of New Zealand) and then from Tasmania to Darwin via the Stuart Highway (bottom to top of Australia) to raise funds for community-based groups who supply lunches to schools.

Kids struggle to learn on an empty tummy, just as I do struggle to run on an empty tummy.

In fact, when kids are hungry... they're starving!

I will keep running and adventuring until I have raised $5,000,000.

I'm not personally involved with any specific groups, my goal is to raise funds for community groups that are in need of extra funds for feeding hungry school kids

Well done Curly! An amazing journey, we are lost for words! We crossed your path in South Australia, on the Stuart Highway, 120kms north of Coober Pedy, cheerfully smiling and waiving while pulling your trailer attached to your waist. Very humbling and an inspiration to us all, thank you!
