Christchurch lad running 24 hours to raise money for mental health

Christchurch lad Jackson Lynskey-Reid is taking on the challenge of running 24 hours around Hagley Park in an effort to raise money for I AM HOPE. Jackson is hoping to raise $10k via his Give A Little page and for every lap, Jackson is also going to donate $20 himself.

He said “Having struggled through mental health in my late teens and early 20s I know how people can feel. Doing this challenge I hope will help kiwis out there get through their struggles with the help of I AM HOPE.”

I AM HOPE have been doing an incredible job in the community giving help to kiwis in need for the last 10 years.
