I'm running 5km a day for the month of April to fundriase for the Missing Wingman trust in memory of those lost on ANZAC Day 2010.
Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui
This ANZAC Day marks 15 years since the tragic Iroquois crash at Pukerua Bay, which resulted in the loss of three Airman's lives, and critical injuries to a fourth. As one of the crewmembers of the Iroquois Black formation, the events of that day have had a lasting impact on me as it has many others. 15 years on, I've decided to honour the memories of Muddy, Dan and Ben by running the distance flown by Black 2 that day over the month of April (between the 1st and ANZAC Day). By my reconning this is approximately 115km which will be 4.8km average a day. By no means a marathon a day, but will represent a big step up personnally. It will certinaly be more than the 10% load increase per week recommended by Physios!
I am choosing to fundrasie for the Missing Wingman Trust which was born out fo the ANZAC Day tragedy.
New goal! 8 April 2025
Everyone has been so generous so far, I'm moving the goal posts - $1000 by the end of the month!
Day 9 - Longer, easier. 9 April 2025
