Brontë Caughey's First 21km for Voices of Hope!

Hi there! For my first 21km I wanted to donate to a prevalent and rising challenge in society - mental health. Most of us know people who have either faced mental health challenges, are currently facing them or maybe you know what a mental health journey feels like first hand!

I've always wanted to run 21km but have thought the goal might be too far out of reach. I started to try build up my aerobic running fitness 2 years ago and just over a year ago I ran 12km to raise money for the Starship Foundation. On the 24th of August I will be running the 1/2 marathon at Mount Maunganui.

Why Voices of Hope? Voices of Hope believe there is power in sharing your lived experience to create positive change. I agree! Through their community talks their "why" is creating a safe place for people who may be struggling with their mental health, to help them feel inspired, supported and empowered.

I so appreciate you supporting me with a Voices of Hope donation! To follow along on my training journey check out Refresh_Pilates
