Marathon for Mental Health | Auckland News

from Auckland News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Shane Thrower, who survived a life-altering cycling crash and rebuilt his life, is running the NYC Marathon this November—not just for personal triumph, but to raise $125,000 with three former All Blacks for Te Tahi Youth, a Christchurch-based org helping at-risk teens. His journey from hospital bed to teacher to marathoner fuels his mission to create a new, all-in-one wellness hub for young people aged 10 to 24, offering medical, mental health, and job support under one roof. This isn’t just a race—it’s a rallying cry for hope, healing, and real change. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
