Running for Te Tahi Youth

Kia Ora!

I’m Toby - a nurse prescriber and the Team Lead for Youth Health in Schools at Te Tahi Youth.

On October 11, 2025, I’ll be running 50km in the Taupō Ultra Marathon to help raise vital funds for young people aged 10–24 across Ōtautahi who need free healthcare, mental health support, employment help, and a safe place to turn to.

Every day through my work, I see the real difference that free, youth-friendly services can make in the lives of our rangatahi. I’m passionate about ensuring every young person has access to the care and support they need - and now, I’m putting myself to the test to help make that happen.

Running 50km is no small feat - it’s going to take months of early mornings, late-night runs, and a lot of dedication. Every dollar you donate will help keep me going through every step (and every blister!) along the way.

If you’re able to, please consider donating and supporting Te Tahi Youth. Together, we can make a real difference for the youth of Ōtautahi!

Ngā mihi nui - thank you so much for your support!

Toby
