I'm running 42 km in loving memory of my grandfather, Willem Du Plessis.

A giant tree has fallen, but the roots you planted in this family run deep. Thank you for the stories, the laughs, and the love. I’ll carry your spirit with me in everything I do. Goodbye for now.

Support my challenge to save Kiwi hearts

This May, I’m taking part in MyMarathon to raise funds for heart research that will help save lives.

Every 90 minutes, a person dies of heart disease. It's the single biggest killer in New Zealand, and I want to do something to support the thousands of Kiwis whose lives are impacted by this disease every single day.

Please make a donation to support my challenge and help save Kiwi hearts.

Together, we can win the race against heart disease.

Thank you!
