On Friday 27 November, WNOW Ōtautahi Christchurch is walking 60km from Papa Hou, for the annual 60for60 Walk.  This year we are doing something local and special with The Kind Foundation.

  • We  walk 60km because every kilometre stands for a man we have lost. 
  • Some of us will walk every km. Some will walk a loop. Nobody walks it alone. 
  • We are one of eight locations across NZ and Australia completing the 6th edition of this challenge. 

WNOW and the Kind Foundation share a bond of connection and belonging and a desire to grow this in our communities.

There are two ways to get involved:

1. SUPPORT US

We are raising money to grow connection and belonging and the work of WNOW and The Kind Foundation.

  • 50% of the money raised will go to the Kind Foundation to create opportunities for connection and belonging across Canterbury.
  • 50% of money raised will go to growing WNOW Sunrise Clubs in Christchurch and across New Zealand, supporting more men to connect and to support mens’ mental health and wellbeing
  • All donations are tax-deductible over $5 via the Kind Foundation

2. COME AND BE PART OF THE WALK

You can join us and walk some of the loops throughout the day.  Come and join us for connections, stories and a few (or many) steps.  We would love to have people out to support our men taking on this big challenge.

WHO IS THE KIND FOUNDATION?

Making a postive difference every day!
You might know us through a stay at Hotel Give, a workout at Elevate, a day at Pūmanawa, a birthday party at Clip ’n Climb, a school camp, recreation programme or one of our community events.

 

What you might not know is that The Kind Foundation is a charity.

 

For more than 160 years, we’ve been creating opportunities for people to be active, learn, connect and belong. Today, income generated through our accommodation, fitness, recreation, camps, events, venues and programmes works alongside donations, sponsorship and volunteer support to help us reach further. It means that something as everyday as booking a stay, joining a gym or attending a programme can become part of something bigger – making a positive difference for people and communities across Canterbury.
