Racing for Replay - Helping Kiwi Kids Play Sport

Kia Ora 👋 I'm Kate, a 29 year old Kiwi living in Sydney.

A bit about me...

Keeping active has always been a massive part of my life, and a game-changer for my mental health. From Saturday sports at school, to now as an adult, the friendships and community I've found, there's really nothing quite like it.

I’ve signed up for some serious type-two fun in the next 12 months — Ironman Taupo 70.3 in March 2026 and (my first full distance) Ironman Cairns in June 2026.

Along my training journey, I'm helping raise funds and awareness for Replay NZ.

What is Replay?

Replay is a New Zealand-based charity. They reconnect quality donated or gently used sports gear to kids, families, schools, and community groups that need it most. Their mission is to make sure everyone can play, move, belong — no matter their budget.

They’ve already rehomed tens of thousands of items — balls, boots, jerseys, PE shed gear, NZ-wide.

The reality is that lots of kids in Aotearoa don't have the same access to sport, active community groups, and the right gear to participate like a lot of us did. Sports gear and fees are getting more expensive, and every year more NZ schools and families can’t keep up.

That’s where the legends at Replay NZ come in, to help reduce the gap for allowing kids across NZ to participate in sport.

How can you help?

Popping in a donation here for this awesome cause will help give my training a purpose much bigger than me. Every dollar counts, and goes directly to Replay NZ.

Thank you ❤️ 🇳🇿
