What is 70 for 70?
We’re celebrating 70 years of Epilepsy New Zealand – and we want you to be part of it!
As summer approaches, it’s a great time to get active, try something new and have a bit of fun. So why not turn your favourite activity into a 70 for 70 challenge?
70 for 70 is a fundraising challenge where you choose something you enjoy and do it 70 times, 70 minutes, 70 kilometres – or come up with your own creative version of 70.
Set yourself a goal, get your friends, whānau or workmates involved, and raise funds to help Epilepsy New Zealand support people living with epilepsy and their whānau now and into the future.
There’s no right or wrong way to do your 70 – just choose your challenge, get active and have fun with it.
Choose your 70. Take on the challenge. Make a difference.
