Registration is now open for 100k’s in 30 Days – a community challenge encouraging participants to complete 100km of physical activity across 30 days while raising vital funds for the Breast Cancer Support Service Tauranga Trust (BCSSTT).

Among those supporting this year’s event will be breast cancer survivor Deb Cory, who was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in November 2024 – a decade after supporting her sister through the same diagnosis.

Following extensive chemotherapy and surgery, Cory is now cancer‑free and credits BCSSTT with helping her through the most challenging period of her life.

The service provided practical and emotional support, including regular check‑ins, handmade post‑surgery pillows, restorative massages, informative speakers, and home baking when it was needed most, Cory said.

“This challenge is my way of giving back to an extraordinary community that helps women stay afloat during their breast cancer journeys,” she said.

Now in its fifth year, 100k’s in 30 Days runs throughout May and invites people of all fitness levels to take part by walking, running, swimming, skating, or mixing activities.

Funds raised support people affected by breast cancer across Tauranga and the Western Bay of Plenty and provide a critical source of income for BCSSTT, which is celebrating 35 years of supporting women and families through breast cancer in 2026.

In 2025, the event accounted for nearly 30% of the trust’s total income.
