Running For Kiwi Kids

$656 of $500 goal
Given by 20 generous donors in 5 weeks

I am running 3km everyday in July for KidsCan to help children living below the poverty line.

Christchurch, Canterbury

This July I will be running a minimum of 3km every day (rain, hail, or shine) to raise money for children living in poverty in New Zealand.

The cost of living crisis is tough on everyone, but kiwi kids are fairing the worst. 15% of children here in New Zealand don't know when their next meal will be. In context that is 187,000 kids right now going without the essentials.

KidsCan is New Zealand's leading charity dedicated to providing for children in need. They provide clothes, food, and health products to those in need. As little as $15 can give a child breakfast and morning tea for a week, and $30 gives one child in need healthy food, a warm jacket, comfortable shoes and access to health products throughout the year.

Any donation is welcome, any kind of support is greatly appreciated!

I'm tracking my runs on Strava (@gracemcewen) so check that out for my progress!
