Plunket New Zealand, is New Zealand’s largest well-child provider to families with children under the age of 5 years old. We are a not-for-profit organisation who rely heavily on fundraising activities to keep our services available to families.

We are running an event called the Plunket Fun Run/Walk (supported by Pak ‘n’ Save) on the 13th April at the Rimutaka Rail Trail in Upper Hutt and we thought you and your community might be interested in hearing about it!

It’s a fun run or walk which supports families nationwide. There are 4 distances you can enter and the cost is very affordable – with 100% of funds being put towards funding Plunket’s Community Services. This event is for everyone – no matter your fitness level or age! There is a distance to suit everyone:

· 3km distance (great choice for buggies and youngies!)

· 6km distance (suitable for everyone)

· 10km – (go further)

· 24km (supporting our ‘24’ cause and putting yourself in the shoes of a hardworking 24hr parent).

The course is great, with a gradual incline and good conditions for buggies and young children – as well as the pro’s!

See attached poster and image –  spread the word to your families as we would love to see them there!

Feel free to check out the Facebook page or website here for registration.
