Run for a Reason
MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW SOON.....
*Falling within Recovery Month and ahead of this year's Mental Health Awareness Week (6th-12th October), we’re inviting you to join us in ****Run for a Reason.**** *
* *
*Speed Freaks and our supporters have gently challenged the stigma surrounding addiction and opened courageous conversations about mental health and community well-being. Run for a Reason builds on this, inviting the community to run, walk or roll at our local track.*
*Celebrating those who have made courageous and brave changes, in support of those struggling, and to honour the memory of someone who has died through addiction or by suicide.*
* *
*Taking place at local tracks in Auckland, Christchurch virtually and now New Plymouth, have a go at a 5km course 1-3 times. *
*You are welcomed to write your loved one’s name on your bib in place of your own, to honour, celebrate and remember.*
