World Vision 40 Hour Challenge

World Vision 40 Hour Challenge

Offline for a short time, impact for a lifetime!

I'm raising funds so families in Solomon Islands can get the seeds, tools and skills they need to grow crops to feed their children in a changing climate.
 
This kaupapa matters because in the Pacific region, 1 in 6 kids are living in severe food poverty. Together, rangatahi in Aotearoa can help change that.
   
Your support would mean so much to me. Please donate today so kids in the Pacific get enough food to grow up healthy and strong.
 
Now’s the time to stand up and make a difference for our neighbours in the Pacific.

My challenge

Friday 15th May

This June, I am stepping up for the World Vision 40 Hour Challenge by taking on a 16-kilometre run. This challenge is about far more than hitting a personal fitness milestone; it is a mission driven by global purpose. I am running to raise vital funds and awareness for children and families in the Solomon Islands who are facing extreme food insecurity due to the impacts of climate change. Every step of these 16 kilometres represents hope, resilience, and an urgent commitment to real change. [1, 3, 4, 5, 6] 
Training for this distance has required physical discipline and mental focus. However, my true motivation comes from knowing that the funds raised will directly provide practical support, including seeds, farming tools, and agricultural training. This helps communities grow sustainable food sources so children can grow up healthy and strong. Running this distance is my way of standing in solidarity with global neighbours who walk miles every day just to survive. [3, 4] 
I cannot achieve my fundraising goal alone. You can back my 16km journey by making a donation directly through my official [World Vision 40 Hour Challenge Page](https://fundraise.worldvision.org.nz/). If you or your business would like to verify this campaign, you can contact the World Vision team at 0800 800 776. Every dollar helps fight climate impact and builds a more secure future. If you cannot donate, sharing my page with your network is an incredibly powerful way to help. Thank you for your generosity and support! [1, 4, 7, 8, 9]
