Doing it for the Kids!
Auckland
So I've decided to do the Auckland Half Marathon Race Series (purely for the awesome medal at the end!) but also that it will be a great challenge, even for someone like me in peak athletic condition! But hearing about the difficulties that over 290,000 kids live in hardship in New Zealand, going without basics everyday puts the word "challenge" into perspective.
KidsCan is a awesome charity that looks to help Kiwi kids in hardship, focusing on food clothing and health and I'm looking to support them (with your help of course!). Whatever you can donate will be a great help - as little as $20 can make that bit of difference to a child.
So what am I doing? The Auckland Half Marathon Race Series are 5 races in and around Auckland and take place over the Spring/Summer. I'm hoping by the end of it I'll have a good personal best but I'm doing these on behalf of KidsCan. Race dates below, come along to watch if you are in Auckland!
30 Sep 2018 Race One: Devonport Half Marathon
02 Dec 2018 Race Two: Omaha Half Marathon
10 Feb 2019 Race Three: Coatesville Half Marathon
17 Mar 2019 Race Four: MaraetaiHalf Marathon
14 Apr 2019 Grand Finale: Waterfront Half Marathon
So, if you can, please spare a few dollars and support this amazing charity and help make a difference to Kiwi kids.
I'm raising money for KidsCan as I think its a great cause and, as a father myself, hearing about any child in hardship is difficult. So, I'm hoping I can do my bit and make difference.
Finished!! 10 May 2019
So again I missed updating the page but we are officially done. It was a great run, missed a personal best by 2 minutes but enjoyed it immensely. I'm keeping the page open for a few more weeks as we are almost there!
