I am running 8km at Mount Maunganui on Saturday 17 October 2026 to raise funds for the ongoing ministry of ArkQuest Education Centre, a Christian school in Mahanga village, Western Kenya. There are currently more than 150 students in the school. The money raised will go towards renovations and improvements to create safer learning environments and increase capacity so more children can access a quality, Christian-based education.

Update Number One 7 October 2026

There is less than ten days to go until the big day. Thank you to all of you who have supported me so generously. I am delighted to report that $751 has been raised so far!!

My training is going well and I managed 28 minutes 8 seconds running 7km a few days ago. I have set myself targets and will make a donation on the day depending on my finishing time for the 8km: Under 36 minutes (should be easy, even if it is windy) - $25, Under 34 minutes (should be comfortably achievable, maybe a challenge if windy) - $50, Under 32 minutes which is 15km/h (a challenge, but I believe it is achievable if there is not much wind) - $75. I was just 9 seconds short of this pace in my last run.

Once again, thank you so much for your donations and support. I greatly appreciate it! God bless you.
