The biggest slowest klutz in the world is learning to run and fundraising for Parkinson's New Zealand

Auckland

Running has always been this scary thing that everyone seems to be able to do except me.

But no longer! I'm going to bravely attempt to run a whole 8.4 kilometres (!) in Round the Bays: to face my fears, while raising money for Parkinson's New Zealand.

Every dollar raised will go straight to providing education and support to people with Parkinson's, their carers, families and health professionals throughout Aotearoa. There is no cure for Parkinson’s yet, which is why information, education, and support is SO vital. Thank you so much!

2% Effective Fee
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.
