RUN FOR HOPE
JOIN the run aotearoa journey with blake
This run is a massive undertaking, and I can’t do it alone.
I’m looking for businesses and individuals willing to support me along the way to help raise $100,000 for I Am Hope, a cause close to my heart and dedicated to mental health awareness and support.
