Runners back hospice


Cargo Plus Coastal Challenge organiser Aaron Carter has done it again. On February 19, Carter raised more than $70,000 for Harbour Hospice by running 50 kilometres, from Waiwera to Devonport.

Carter established the Coastal Challenge 20 years ago and has since raised more than $230,000 for Harbour Hospice.

This month he ran with a group of supporters including Greg Shaw who, at 70, raised the most money – more than $11,000.

“Greg was in hospital the week before and it definitely looked like he was not going to be able to do it,” Carter says. “But he convinced his doctors that they should let him, and he did! That really restores your faith in humanity.”

Donations are still rolling in. If you would like to help Aaron and his incredible team of runners raise an inspiring $80,000 for families who need hospice care, visit https://50k-for-hospice.raisely.com

Every dollar raised helps provide specialist palliative care to those in the community who need it.
