A non-runner turned runner, running in commemoration of my nan.

Mount Wellington, Auckland

Kia ora tātou!

Turning 31 last year, I decided to push myself to do things outside of my comfort zone. And there are very few things which pushes people outside of their comfort zones more than running 😂 so here I am - someone who went from being unable to run 1km non-stop, to someone committing to running the Auckland half marathon on November 2nd - the day before my 32nd birthday.

In commemoration of this feat, I have committed to running in remembrance of my nan - Monica Topia - who I lost to cancer, and all proceeds I will donate to gynaecological cancer research.

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.
