Something seriously exciting is happening, and I need you all to pay attention. It involves running, vegan cheese, and making sure people have access to nutritious food.
Intrigued? You should be.
Get all the details below.
Now, let me tell you about this absolute legend.
Nivi, one of the clever people behind I AM NUT OK vegan cheese and Third Culture Deli, is lacing up his running shoes and taking on the Hackney Half Marathon in May 2025.
But this isn’t just about personal fitness goals or crossing a finish line. Nivi is running to raise vital funds for food security charity Made In Hackney.
Made In Hackney does incredible work making sure that access to healthy, plant-based food is a right, not a privilege. The money raised from Nivi’s run will support everything from community cookery classes to campaigns for sustainable food systems. Every donation will directly help people get the food and support they need.
And here’s where it gets even better. The goal is to raise £500, and if we hit that target, Keith Lesser (of Vegan Accountants) will generously match it with another £500. That means Nivi’s half marathon could bring in a whopping £1,000 for Made In Hackney!
This is where you come in. If you want to cheer on Nivi in the best way possible, head over to the fundraising page and donate now. Every single pound makes a difference.
And while you’re at it, why not treat yourself to some of his legendary vegan cheeses from I AM NUT OK? You can shop them directly online.
Let’s make sure Nivi’s run does something truly amazing. Donate, share, and spread the word.
