    EXCITING NEWS: Glenn Wells is doing the FULL Marathon too! Get ready FOLLOWERS because there is quite the underbelly of courageous humans who have started intensive training for this event.

    Glenn and his beautiful wife, Karen, both embarked on their #Hear4U pathways in 2023. They smashed their 8 Week Challenge and have been positively committed to enriching their wellbeing.

    Glenn also completed the First Light Marathon this month.

    This year we are stepping it up, making a statement, because we know HOW, WHAT, and WHY our system works. If you would like to donate towards his efforts, please click on the GIVEALITTE link below and leave a comment in support of "#GOGLEN" with the donation made. (Same fundraising page, just different # tag).

    Training is HARD! (Growth mindset is critical).

    SHAMELESS MOMENT - An emergency dash to the amazing Phil at TBI Health Group New Zealand Gisborne revealed, "my back isn't broken". I've just overdone it this week 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Guess what, I've recruited a team of #Hear4U legends to join this journey too.

    42 REASONS WHY:

    In August 2024, the #Hear4U Charity will be participating at the Total Sport, Taupo Half Marathon for the 4th time. Let's raise the numbers...👍

    I will attempt to run/walk 42km with the purpose of raising awareness, breaking the stigma, and raising funds. Every kilometre will be dedicated to those impacted by Cyclone Gabrielle. Through sharing their stories - people can understand "THE WHY". The demand for our service is HUGE - but we receive no sustainable mental health funding from the government.

    KILOMETRE #1:

    Celebrating Graham Torrie

    Before Cyclone Gabrielle hit - he was OFFFFFF!!!

    Graham biked from the top to the bottom of New Zealand with the aim of raising funds for #Hear4U. 6k later... every dollar was invested into providing on-site counselling and mentoring sessions through our amazing contractors. 50 FREE SESSIONS in total - with the aim of making accessibility easier. We can't forget those that have supported our Kaupapa and important Mahi. A great warm up to a long journey ahead.
