Run for a House of Science Forest Health kit!

$3,030 of $3,000 goal
Given by 30 generous donors in 12 weeks

Fundraising for House of Science NZ Charitable Trust

Wellington

House of Science (https://houseofscience.nz/) is a charitable organisation that brings amazing science kits to kaiako and ākonga in primary and intermediate schools. A new 'Forest Health' kit is coming and I am fundraising in the hope of adding the kit to the Wellington branch.

I love to run trails and have signed up to run the 50km WAI2K Ultra, one of the events in the WAI Run Festival (https://www.wuu2k.co.nz/wai2k-events) on Saturday 23 November, with over 2,500m of vertical gain on trails that wind through native forest. I’d love for it to make a difference, by bringing a new House of Science kit to children, that shows the importance of caring for our special forests. If you are able to contribute, I’d be very grateful 💚.

Thank you, Sarah

We did it! Thank you so much!  23 November 2024

Thank you so much for supporting this fundraiser and I’m absolutely delighted to let you know that the target has been reached! Thanks to your support the new Forest Health kit will be rolled out next year!

I had a massive day on the trails. It was a tough adventure, with lots of climbing and challenging descents, over very technical terrain. The last few kilometres took a lot of mental willpower, but knowing that I was doing it for a great cause certainly helped 💚.

Here’s some background on the kit in progress, and thank you again for your generous sponsorship of a kit;

In memory of Louise Shave, who loved the bush, and felt passionate about what House of Science is doing for Kiwi kids. She would have thought that every person should learn about Forest Health and how we could all play a role in looking after it.
