Maui Dolphin Challenge - Save the Last 63!

$800 donated
Given by 22 generous donors in 9 weeks

My name is Hudson and I am almost 7 years old. I'm going to run 1km every day for 63 days to raise awareness for the last 63 Maui dolphins.

Canterbury

There are only 63 of these beautiful dolphins left. Maui's dolphins are unique to New Zealand's North Island and they are the smallest and rarest marine dolphins in the world. They are only the size of a bathtub!

I, Hudson, am almost 7 and have decided to run 1km every day for 63 days. My brother Flynn (4) is going to bike with me.

We all wanted something positive to focus on in the current environment.

And that's a wrap!  22 May 2020

63 days in a row of 1km to support the Maui dolphins. And what a way to finish running alongside Olympian and local legend Angie Petty.

The boys have been amazing.

Pancakes and bacon for dinner and a day off running tomorrow.
