Participating in Fisher Funds take on the Taupō Ultra Marathon for First Foundation

Taupo, Waikato

I've never run a marathon before, let alone a half-marathon, so naturally I thought I'd skip straight past those and sign up for the 50km Taupo ultra marathon. Seemed like a great idea at the time.

There's a quote I love: "It's a privilege, to choose to do hard things." This is my chance to test myself, step outside my comfort zone, and hopefully make a meaningful difference along the way.

Why First Foundation?

First Foundation helps talented young New Zealanders from challenging backgrounds access opportunities through scholarships, mentoring, and ongoing support. They help unlock potential and create pathways that can change lives.

I'm incredibly proud to be raising funds for such an amazing cause. Every donation will help First Foundation continue empowering the next generation of leaders.
