Update - the 2021 marathon was postponed and then cancelled so I'm still training for race day in November 2022.

I did an Outward Bound classic course in 2016 and it was the most worthwhile thing I've ever done. Over the 21 days in the mountains and on the water I learnt a lot about who I was, what was important to me, and made goals for my future. One of these goals was to run a marathon. 

Since then I have traveled to Canada and built a life there only to end up coming back to NZ again. What I learnt at Outward Bound is a big part of how I've got to where I am today. It showed me that I get to choose what sort of person I become and what sort of life I want to live. 

In February this year I went back to visit Anakiwa and it reminded me of the goals I had set. I want to run this marathon to achieve that goal I made almost 5 years ago but I also want to run it to fundraise enough money for someone else to experience Outward Bound.

Any support would be hugely appreciated!
