Isaac's Bandanna Day Challenge

Earning Limitless Legend status

I'm fundraising to support rangatahi impacted by cancer. ❤️

To donate, use the secure donation portal on this page.

Thank you so much for getting behind me and backing Canteen’s incredible work to ensure that rangatahi never have to face cancer alone.

100kms for cancer

After being diagnosed with brain cancer in 2010, I have developed a deeper appreciation for the struggle that is felt during an after cancer treatment.  From what I can understand, most of cancer recovery feels quite similar to the concept of  dragging your feet through concrete with a smile on your face. 

I am so blessed to say that I can walk and run now. Throughout the month of June, I will be running/jogging 100 km. I am by no means a runner so I thought this would be a suitable challenge for me as I know that those affected by cancer push themselves on a regular basis by simply completing everyday tasks. 

I have created this fundraising page and it would be sensational if you could donate to what I know is a good cause but I largeley want to acknowledge the fact that I am now able to run (where previously I couldn't) and that is something I should not take for granted.

My Updates

Another week of running down

Sunday 21st Jun
I'm glad to say that as I just came back from my 19th day of running (two days missed), I am at 80.1 8KM run. 

13 days in progress update.

Saturday 13th Jun
I have been running 4K a day so that I can finish 100 km as fast as possible. I'll be honest, day one was pretty rough. Shin splints and feeling like I was going to collapse at any point was not where I planned to start this challenge. By day three, the shin splints had subsided and I was completing 4km and didn't feel like I was just postponing the inevitable. Day 13 and I have managed to steadily increase my 4 km to a five minute/KM pace. I have currently run a total of 55.8 km and am on track to reach my goal by the 24th. At about the 2KM mark of my run everyday, I think about giving up or having a day off but that's not the reality of cancer so giving up isn't going to be part of my plan either.
