Four Half Marathons, One Mission: End the Stigma

$370 of $400 goal
Given by 14 generous donors in 23 days

To raise awareness for the silent battles so many face, and to remind every struggling Kiwi that their story matters and they’re never alone

Hawke's Bay

21.1km run

21.1km ski erg

21.1km rower

21.1km bike

For those fighting battles unseen.

For the ones who say “I’m fine” because they don’t know how to ask for help.

For the ones we’ve lost and the ones still fighting silently.

Mental health struggles are everywhere, but still so many suffer in silence.

In New Zealand:

• 1 in 5 Kiwis experience mental illness or distress each year.

• We have one of the highest youth suicide rates in the developed world.

• And far too often, people feel they need to suffer alone, unseen and unheard.

This challenge is my way of saying: you’re not alone, and your story matters.

All donations go toward I Am Hope Foundation.

Thank you for supporting this cause, and helping me turn every step into something that matters. 💙
