Celebrating Our Amazing Muscle-Lenders!
A massive, heartfelt thank you to every individual and team who "lent their muscle" this May. We've seen incredible dedication:
Friends and families undertaking diverse personal challenges – running, walking, training, and cycling with purpose.
Energetic groups collectively smashing goals like thousands of squats (some even internationally on the Camino trail!).
Dedicated individuals conquering half marathons and competing in overseas running events.
Communities coming together for activities like local river walks.
Workplaces and friends hosting their own mini-fundraisers.
Your energy, commitment, and creativity have been the powerful force behind this success. Every share, every conversation, every step taken, and every event hosted has helped raise crucial awareness and these vital funds. You are all superstars!
Still Time to Show Your Support – Every Dollar Counts!
While the month of May and most of our active challenges are drawing to a close, there's still a golden opportunity to show your support and help us boost this incredible total even further! Our amazing fundraisers' pages are still open for donations for a short while longer.
If you've been inspired by their efforts, or if you want to make a contribution to the fight against FA, now is the perfect time. Help us give one final push!
And, if you're feeling incredibly spontaneous and inspired for a super quick, last-minute personal fundraising dash in these final few days, the sign-up page is technically still open at https://nz.lendussomemuscle.com/lend-us-some-muscle-2025/. However, the biggest impact you can make right now is by generously supporting our existing heroes via the leaderboard link above!
Your Support Transforms into Hope for the FA Community
Every single dollar of this amazing $30,731.82 will go directly towards funding crucial research projects in New Zealand. These projects are aimed at finding effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure for Friedreich's Ataxia, bringing real, tangible hope to individuals and families affected by FA across the country.
We are so incredibly grateful for the spirit, generosity, and dedication shown throughout Lend Us Some Muscle™ 2025. Let's make these final days count!
Thank you, New Zealand, for lending us your muscle and your heart.
