My Story…




Kia Ora everyone!


I’ve set myself a huge challenge - I’ll be running my first full marathon the Red Stag Rotorua one on May 6th, 2026, and I’m doing it not only as a challenge to myself but to raise money for the Bay of Plenty/Waikato Cancer Society. We all know someone that has been affected by cancer so let’s support them and their families in the best way possible.


Between now and then, I’ll be following a 24-week training plan, running, biking and swimming over 35km every week to get marathon-ready. It’s going to be a massive effort, early mornings, sore legs, and plenty of mental battles but it’s all for a great cause.


The Cancer Society does amazing work supporting people and families affected by cancer right here in our community. Every donation helps them keep providing free services, emotional support, transport to treatment, and fund important research.


If you’re able to donate, big or small, I’d be so grateful it all adds up and makes a real difference. Your support will also give me that extra push when the training gets tough and the legs start to give out. If you can’t donate that’s okay if you could just share this post with family and friends that’d also be appreciated. I know that $5000 is a big ask but I truly think we can do it for our loved ones.


Thanks heaps for backing me and this awesome cause 🙌


Let’s do this. One step, one kilometre, one donation at a time.

Every step for someone’s fight.
