Team MND at Auckland Marathon

Jodi Clouston lost her Mum to MND in 2011, a heart-wrenching experience that has driven her to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this devastating condition. In 2023, Jodi had the opportunity to run the New York Marathon as a member of Team ALS, the official charity partner for MND in the United States. The experience was transformative—being part of a team united by a shared mission, and seeing the tangible impact of the collective efforts was both inspiring and uplifting. 

Now, Jodi is bringing that same spirit of solidarity and hope back to New Zealand by setting up “Team MND” for the Auckland Marathon. You do not need to run a marathon – there are options for everyone, including the full marathon, half marathon, 11km bridge traverse, 5km or 2km kids dash!  

Join Jodi in this mission and help make a lasting difference. There is no minimum amount to fundraise and it's easy to enter, either individually or get a team together.
