Geriatric Kidney Kid to Run Ultra Marathon for Kidney Kids NZ!!
Support Geriatric Kidney Kid Cam and his bro running 50km ultra marathon tied together to raise money for Kidney Kids NZ!!
Nationwide
Kia ora, I'm Cam, a former kidney kid who received the best gift a Dad could give his Son, a kidney, when I was in renal failure in 2019. Now, in March 2023, my brother Lachie, myself and the extra kidney are planning on running a 50km ultra marathan trail run to raise some money for a charity that has supported me and my family incredibly when I was younger - Kidney Kids NZ.
Kidney Kids is a not-for-profit organisation and their mission is to support kidney kids and their families/whānau throughout New Zealand on their journey with kidney disease.
The ultra is the 50km "Ring of Fire", where Lachie and I will run (with a fair bit of walking!) from Turoa Village, around the long way to Whakapapa Village via the Ruapehu Round the Mountain Track involving 1912m ascent and 2340m descent. Oh, and we'll be tied together with a bungy cord.

Success!! 18 March 2023
What a day on the maunga last Saturday. Ended up smashing the goal time of 8-9 hours coming in at 7 hrs 23 mins. Kudos to Big Stu's kidney for filtering blood like a champ (I must've gotten the good one, sorry Dad). The race was really enjoyable apart from approx. 38-45km where I wanted to keel over and die.
Huge appreciation to everyone who donated, we ended up raising over $3,000 for Kidney Kids NZ which is amazing!
