10km Fundraiser for Sands New Zealand

Lace up, roll up, or just show up — we're getting together for a 10km fundraiser along Marine Parade in support of Sands New Zealand, a voluntary, parent-run organisation offering support, empathy, and understanding to parents and families who have experienced the death of a baby at any stage during pregnancy, birth, or infancy.

A little life, not a little loss.

This is a relaxed, come-as-you-are kind of event. Walk it, run it, bike it, jog it — or do a little of the distance and call it a day. Not feeling the movement? Come along for a coffee and some good company instead. Every bit of participation counts, and every dollar raised goes directly to Sands.

Event Details

• When: Monday 26th October

• Where: Marine Parade

• Entry: Koha — give what you can, every contribution helps

• All proceeds: Donated to Sands New Zealand

• How to take part: Walk, run, bike, jog, do part of the distance, or simply come for a coffee and a chat

Who It's For

Everyone! Bring your whānau, your friends, your dog, your neighbour. Whether you're smashing out the full 10km or strolling the first kilometre with a flat white in hand, you're part of something meaningful.

Come for the movement, stay for the community, and help us support bereaved parents and families across Aotearoa.

Every step, every koha, every conversation makes a difference. Thank you for being part of it.
