J
up Brown is an ordinary New Zealander who is about to embark on an extraordinary adventure in the name of friendship. From September 1, the 38 year-old plumber from Wanaka will jog his way from Stewart Island to Cape Reinga, running 2600km in 69 days… And we’re with him every step of the way! With a support crew in tow, Jup’s ten weeks on the road will be focussed around raising awareness and donations for the Stroke Foundation of New Zealand. Running New Zealand sprang from a love of his home country and a desire to raise awareness of his inspirational friend Nick Chisholm, who suffered a stroke in his twenties and experienced “Locked-in Syndrome”. Then eight months into his planning for this charity run Jup’s father also suffered a stroke, which has certainly upped the ante.
RUNNING NEW ZEALAND IN 69 DAYS
Jup is keen for as many people as possible to show their support by jogging with him and donating a few dollars as he runs up the country. See his blog at http://running-nz.info to follow his progress and check his schedule for when he’ll be in your area. Donations can be made via his website www. runningnz.co.nz or text STROKE to 5339 to make an instant $3 donation to the Stroke Foundation. Run Jup Run!
