The inaugural ‘The Long Run, a Crusade With Heart’ event took place last week, and the total raised was published today.
The run started at 6am and finished 13 hours 45 minutes later – the time it took to run a baton around Malvern and Rugby parks 153 times – representing one lap for each Kiwi kid diagnosed with cancer every year.
Collectively 5,353 laps of the parks were run, with each one representing $1 donated by John Jones Steel.
Colin Mansbridge, Crusaders CEO, said he was “blown away” by the community effort for the inaugural Long Run. “At the end of the day it’s all for a great cause, right? It’s for the kids and their families that need it.”
