My Story…

In May, I’ll be taking on the challenge of running the Rotorua Marathon, something that not long ago, probably would’ve sounded like a crazy idea!


Truth is, I’m not fully trained for a marathon… but I’ve caught the running bug lately and decided to back myself, commit, and just go for it. Sometimes the best way to grow is to throw yourself in the deep end and see what you’re capable of.


This run is about more than just getting to the finish line. It’s about discipline, resilience, and proving to myself that I can push through when things get tough.


I’m also using this challenge as an opportunity to raise funds for a cause. Every donation, big or small, will help make a real difference and will keep me motivated when the legs start to hurt and the finish line still feels a long way off.


If you’re able to support, I’d really appreciate it


Thanks for being part of the journey, I’ll be giving it everything I’ve got on race day 💪
