Dunedin Half Marathon for Anna!!!

Dunedin, Otago

After traveling to Yosemite, USA, Anna had a huge fall on a runout slab rock climbing. Anna broke nearly every bone in her body including her neck, spine, pelvis, ribs, and feet. Her left foot is beyond repair and so has been amputated. Anna's head is completely fine and she remained conscious throughout. This is nothing short of a miracle.

It will be a long journey to recovery but if anyone can do it, Anna can. She is a strong, determined 21yr old with lots of willpower to move forward.

Money is something we don't like to stress about but Anna's medical bills exceed $1 million. Her travel insurance only covers a part of the costs of her surgeries and hospital care so we need to fundraise for the rest!

Thought a cool way to try to fundraise some money for Anna would be to challenge myself by doing the Dunedin Half Marathon. Myself and my flat mate Marcus Gow will be trying our hardest to train most days of the week and give the 21 km a good crack.

Thank you so much for your support and love!!!
