' I feel like one of the biggest barriers to mental wellness is the stigma of talking about it. By running for mental health, I hope to show that it is cool to korero, it’s okay not to be okay and also to raise awareness that there is support and information available to those who need it. '

– Ānaru Stewart raised $203 running Auckland Round the Bays 2020
