617km in gumboots for 617 lost lives.
Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty
Last year 617 New Zealanders sadly took their own lives😢. Gumboot Friday is a charity that is very close to my own heart as a couple years ago I was myself in a dark place. But like with this walk one step at a time! One day at a time is all you need to do in those dark moments as things are never the same forever and tomorrow is always a new day. So to help raise awareness and money for I am Hope Gumboot Friday. I will be walking 617 km for the 617 lives lost last year in my gumboots over a 21 day period this October and finishing up Friday 7th November ( Gumboot Friday). Daily average walk will be around 30km each day. If you can please spare even one dollar to donate as it all adds up and is very much appreciated. Cheers Kurt 🤙
