Fundraising for Women's Refuge New Zealand

Auckland

UPDATED: This year I’ve registered for the Auckland Half Marathon as a fundraiser for the Women’s Refuge. I’m aiming to raise $1000 from friends/family/colleagues and will match this up to $1000 through my own private practice (Skill Builders SLT) to top up the amount, so hopefully I’ll get to $2000.

The Women’s Refuge is New Zealand’s largest nation-wide organisation that supports and helps women and children experiencing family violence. As someone who is surrounded by strong, independent women (family, friends, and colleagues) and an uncle to two beautiful nieces, it’s devastating to think that 24% of New Zealand women have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV) offences during their lifetimes*.

Final Total For Fundraiser   4 November 2024

A huge thank you to everyone who donated to my half marathon fundraiser. It was so heart warming to see some last minute donations before my run and straight after! All up, we raised $2370 for the Women’s Refuge! What started off as a small goal of getting to $500 (or $1000 with my private practice matching the cause) slowly increased to something bigger. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart with making sure NZ women and children have a safe place to stay the night if they’re ever unsafe in their own homes. Your contribution has made a huge difference and you also motivated me to run my first half in 1hr 41 mins!

Wishing you all a great rest of the year.

Thank you Kate, Kevin, Audrey, and Henry. I was imagining that I was being chased by sharks in the last 2kms while I was cramping. I made it and survived ;) x
