It's just one month until the Auckland Marathon on 29th October… if you're taking part there's still time to make every step count by fundraising for Visionwest.
Whatever Run The City distance you're entering, the money you raise will come direct to Visionwest and provide kai with kindness and dignity to families who really need it.
As a thank you for your hard work, if you raise $1,000 or more we'll reimburse the cost of your entry fee.

Selina, Senior Clinical Manager with our Supportive Housing team in Auckland shared this encouraging story.
Recently, I was fortunate enough to spend some time listening to success stories from Ara Poutama Aotearoa (the Department of Corrections). No names were mentioned and, to preserve the privacy and confidentiality of individuals, the stories were shared with minimal detailed information. It was, however, still very encouraging and one story stuck out for me.
One of the Parole Officers shared what he called, his biggest success story. It centred around a man who was a middle-aged recidivist offender. The Parole Officer spoke of how committed he was to supporting this man and spent a lot of time with him. He worked hard to support the man but deep down had little hope that he would be able to stop offending.
Then the man came to a turning point in his life – it was when he became involved with a housing agency and received support from a social worker who took time to get to know him, listen to his story, and encourage him. To the Parole Officer’s delight, the man did it! He turned his life around and is now doing great.
Imagine how proud I felt when, towards the end of the story, the Parole Officer revealed that the external agency is Visionwest!
A big thanks to everyone who is committed to helping us walk with others and help them transform their lives.
