Meet Phill Tutunoa - two months, addicted to movement.

We're honoured to have joining Pillar to Pou this year - an Auckland dad who decided things had to change, and in doing so has sparked a movement.

One metre for every follower - a public commitment to changing his life. In just 7 weeks, his following has grown to 171,000 - each new follower adding another metre to the journey.

And he's not just building a following - he's building proof. Phill recently lined up for his first ever half marathon at the Runaway Noosa, and he finished it. In his own words:

"I also want you all to see how I was moving. I wasn't moving fast at all - there were even people walking the half marathon past me. So my message to those thinking about ever giving it a go is to just TRY!! You won't be alone out there & you'll never regret it."

That's what this is about. Not pace. Not performance. Just movement - and the courage to start.

In Phill's words, "the most important time to start anything is now."

Phill's building something powerful, and we're proud to be part of his journey.

Go well, Phill - and nau mai 🤙🏾

Happy 🧡

We started Pillar to Pou as an event. You've turned it into a movement —

Whanau doing it together. PBs being smashed. Those slowly, reluctantly, starting to hate running less.

Run clubs finding strength in each other. Gym groups out there repping, hard. The side wagers being placed.

The ones squeezing it in, often in the dark. The seasoned campaigned starting to taper, others that only know one pace. Those hoping their teammates bring the legs as they've long lost theirs.

The ones doing it for someone who can't. The ones moving simply because they can 🧡

10 days to go and you're doing it 💪🏼
