We lost Richard suddenly to an undiagnosed cardiovascular condition in September 2025 at just 46. He was a much-loved partner, friend, son, brother and uncle. 

Jae (Richard's partner) and his best friends Greg and Amity, will be walking in Richard's honour to help raise awareness and research into heart health.

Last day today

Today is the last day of May, and therefore the last day of our marathon! We have all now met our walking goals! As a team we have fundraised $2701, a huge achievement that we are all proud off. Thanks again to all of our supporters for your generosity for this great cause.

Ngā mihi nui,
Jae, Greg and Amity

Jae has met her goal!

I had a special weekend in Auckland hanging out with Richie's sister Lizzie, brother-in-law Nathan and gorgeous niece and nephew. We did some walking and I met my walking goal :) I plan to keep on going though!

Amity has met her goal!

Kia ora everyone,

A massive congratulations to the lovely Amity who met her goal of 126km a few days ago! This girl is an inspiration, averaging 30,000 steps a day! 

I am holding strong with another 12kms to go of my more modest goal of 84km.

Greg is smashing through his massive goal of 300km.

What a team!

Ngā mihi nui,

Jae 

Team walk

Today the three of us did a 10km walk together. I am so grateful to these guys for doing this fundraising project with me. We are smashing through our targets. In 2 days, it will have been 8 months since we lost Richie. I miss him so much.

Kia ora everyone,

The Wellington weather has been kind to us and conducive to walking. I have just hit the halfway mark of my walking goal, and the lovely Amity and Greg are smashing through their super epic walking goals.

We are so grateful to have nearly fundraised 2.5k.

... and we're off!

What a beautiful day in the capital to kick off (pun intended) our challenge. Walking along the waterfront brought up so many special memories of times spent with Richie. Thanks to the generosity of so many cool people we have tripled our goal. It feels nice to have something to focus on that will help others, as I continue to navigate life without my giant.

Fundraising goal met

Thanks to all the wonderful people who have donated! We have nearly doubled our fundraising goal, and we are so grateful to everyone for helping us help others.

Jae is busy managing the fundraising, and Greg and Amity are chomping at the bit to start tracking their KMs. Please feel free to share our page with your connections.
