Running 21.1km in memory of my Uncle and to raise funds for Cancer Society NZ who supported him throughout his treatment.

Christchurch, Canterbury

On April 12th, I am completing my second half-marathon however, this time it is in memory of my Uncle Ross, who passed away in May 2024 due to brain cancer. He was incredibly active and was constantly supporting me throughout my sporting career. During his treatment, Cancer Society NZ was a massive help to both him and my family.

This is why I have chosen to put myself through the mental and physical challenge of a half-marathon to raise awareness for Brain Cancer and, hopefully, with your support, be able to fundraise for this amazing charity.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
