March Mission

Walking with Purpose this Lent - Will you Walk with Me 🙏

Hey fam,

This Lent, I’m stepping away from social media and committing to 7,000 steps a day in March to support the Auckland City Mission - Te Tāpui Atawhai, standing with those in our community doing it tough.

All funds raised will go toward providing nourishing kai, healthcare, and safe housing for Aucklanders who need it most. Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference.

If you’d like to support my walk, I’d be so grateful. Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support this Lent.

‘Ofa atu moe lotu. 🙏🤍

FINAL UPDATE - March Mission

Tuesday 31st Mar
Sorry I didn’t post a Sunday Week 4 update as I was extremely busy with a family event. This final walk for March Mission is dedicated to you my family & biggest supporters. 1KM for every $100 you donated, every step carried by your encouragement. City Mission supports whānau in our Auckland community with food, shelter & care & I’m grateful we could all play a small part. This journey was more than steps, it was about heart, community & not walking alone. Forever grateful for each & every one of you! Wishing you all a safe, blessed & happy Easter. ✝️🤍💜

Week 3 DONE ✅

Sunday 22nd Mar
Another week done & the legs are still moving 😂, another 7000+ steps every single day. So grateful for everyone who’s supported, donated & followed along. Every bit of encouragement keeps me going & means more than you know. 🥹🤍🤍🤍

Week 2 DONE ✅

Sunday 15th Mar
Week 2 update: had the best 5am stroll this morning & smashed out a lazy 10K despite my physio telling me to take it easy 🙃🤣 Since we’ve surpassed the fundraising goal last week, I haven’t really been pushing the fundraising. Just recording & ticking off the bare minimum 7k daily steps via Strava from Monday to Sunday. Still feeling grateful for all the support. 🤍🤍🤍

Week 1 DONE ✅

Saturday 7th Mar
Because of you family, we’ve already exceeded the $1000 goal & I’m beyond grateful for your love, encouragement & kindness. In the last 7days, I’ve walked 53.72kms which is the distance from Auckland CBD to near Waiuku….even Warkworth!!! 🤯 Every step & every donation means so much! 🤍🤍🤍

Day 1 - The Mission Begins!

Sunday 1st Mar
March Mission has begun & this morning, I took the first steps walking 1km for every $100 donated so far. These daily 7000steps during March will simply be my way of honouring the generosity you’ve shown & keeping the mission visible, while your support is what truly makes the difference for the people who need it. Not everyday’s a lazy 9k cos…time, reality & my left calf 😂🙃 my Strava account is connected to this website so it’ll automatically log my steps daily & I will be dropping a weekly update here so you can keep tabs on the mission. Thank you for being a part of this. 🤍🤍🤍

Proof That Your Donations Have Legs! 🤣🤍

Thursday 26th Feb
10.6metres for every dollar you’ve given. Every step was powered by your generosity & I'm so grateful for each & every one of you! Love & appreciate you always my family! 🙏🥹 P.S Never doing a road walk during peak hour traffic again. Today was giving traffic light crossings marathon 😂😩
