    Hi everyone! I managed to run the 50k on Sunday the 24th of October in some pretty miserable conditions (wind and rain). We finished in 5:28 (and surprisingly I was the first placed female in the virtual event!). As we ticked off the kilometres I was adding up how much we had earned, e.g. at the 25k mark I told Vince we've earned $500 so far (the total amount was at $1000 when we ran it). Thank you again for your support of such a worthy cause. Your support honestly kept me going during the later stages of the run when it was really tempting to stop and get dry and warm. In the photo Vince and I had three kilometres to go, our friend Anthony, very kindly joined us for half of the run.

  • Lockdown impact

    Hi everyone, due to Auckland being in a lockdown for the past 7 weeks, and potentially several more weeks I was unable to do the 50k race in Tauranga (it has been postponed until potentially October 24th). I don't think I will be able to attend the race in person so I have decided to run the 50k 'virtually' in Auckland on the 24th of October. So I am still doing the 50k! Cancer doesn't stop for lockdowns so neither will I.
