Kristen runs for Kids Can

I've been keen for awhile to run a full marathon, the whole 42.2km of excruciating pain but haven't committed to one yet... except for now. I have decided to commit to the Queenstown Full Marathon 2021, I will also be running atleast three half marathons (Rotorua Off Road, Hawkes Bay, Auckland) through out the year.

I am no running expert but I can put one foot in front of the other.

Instead of just running for my own satisfaction, I thought I would try raise a bit of money for a charity that I see fitting. The Kids Can Charitable Trust.

Kids Can are partnered with a number of schools and early childhood centres and provide the physical and nutritional needs to the children to assist them with reaching their full potential. Through my job I have seen first hand the amount of children in our society that are living in hardship, and this is at no fault of their own. Walking into these homes has definitely given me an appreciation to how I was brought up and how privileged I was.
