Raising money to start "Ben's trust"

Paraparaumu, Wellington

To honor our beloved Ben Knight a charitable trust is being made in his name. Mark Sawle is a friend of Ben's and started the Wellington Walk and Talk for men's mental health when Ben first found things hard. Mark wants to fund work to expand the initiative around the country. Any funds donated will go towards the founding of the trust "Ben's Trust"

Very lucky to have worked with and learned from Ben. Very saddened to hear of this loss to the marine community of Aotearoa.
