Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having been diagnosed with the onset of osteoarthritis it got me thinking about my grandmother, Joyce James. She suffered severely with arthritis and as a child I so wished there was something I could to do to help her. Sadly she lived many of her last days in pain and had limited mobility. Others in the family have and still suffer the discomfort and debilitating effects of arthritis. Mine is not the only family. Millions of people world wide suffer arthritis and the journey to live well with arthritis can be difficult. Support is available through organisations like Arthritis New Zealand (Kaiponapona Aotearoa). Donations are an enormous help in enabling them to continue their good work. I want to do what I can with what I have and have faith that it will be multiplied exponentially as others are inspired to give  

The goal is to run from the top of New Zealand to the bottom - Cape Reinga to Bluff. NOT ALL IN ONE GO THOUGH. Supposedly around 2059km but I do expect it to be further as I will not be taking major roads and hence not the shortest route. I will take on sections as resources permit and as my body holds up. I will take on the first leg starting in mid July 2021. My hope is that it will take less than a year to complete the last leg into Bluff.

I hope that you will follow my progress, pray my joints keep working and feel led to support this cause or any other worthwhile cause that is close to your heart.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity. 

Even a dollar makes a difference - Large amounts are made up of single dollars.

Many thanks.

Justin.
