About this fundraiser:
Reason for fundraising:
Unicef: There’s a major famine epidemic in Africa that needs attention. It's being described as the worst drought in 60years and the first famine of the 21st century. Kidscan: Thousands of NZ children live in poverty, going without food and basics necessities, directly impacting their ability to learn and grow.
The fundraising mission:
For the rest of the year we are running, for KidsCan and Unicef! We have each commited to different events such as; SBS Hamilton Half Marathon, Whangamata 10km Run, The Goat Alpine Adventure Half Marathon and Round the Bridges!

Thanks to Round the Bridges for an amazing event, we had an awesome day.
Pipi, Charlotte and Renee all ran in the 12km race while Kiri walked the 6km with Lauren who has an ankle injury so was unable to run. The girls all did awesome and all managed to complete the run in under 70 minutes.
