A small fundraiser for the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand raised through the Cadbury Dunedin Half-Marathon

Otago

Hola, it's me, Rhys.

In roughly one months time i'll be running the Cadbury Dunedin half marathon (21.1km) on the 13th of September, from Forsyth Barr Stadium to Watson Park at Port Chalmers.

As an added bonus, and in light of my graduation from third year Neuroscience later this year, I have decided to start a little fundraiser for any and all donations towards my run, with 100% of all money raised going towards the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand.

The Neurological Foundation ensures neuroscientist's (like my future self) can continue leading-edge research into neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and motor neurone diseases (to name a few).

Donations of any size are appreciated.

Thank you.

Later this year, I will be graduating from the university of Otago as a Neuroscience student. As I enjoy both recreational running and the field of research Neuroscience offers, i thought this would be a nice way to give back.

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.
