Mahe's Fundraising Ride!  18 January 2026

Mahe has officially completed his ride from Cape Reinga to Bluff!

He rolled into Bluff on Thursday 15th January just after 9pm, joined by mates and family — an emotional and unforgettable finish.

Over 25 days, Mahe rode the length of the country, an incredible journey and achievement for a 14-year-old. We couldn’t be prouder.

A massive thank you to everyone who donated to support Fiordland Marine Search & Rescue. We are truly blown away by the generosity. This is a vital service for our community and one that isn’t government funded, so every contribution really does make a difference.

Mahe’s original goal was $7,000 — and he’s well and truly smashed it! Thank you all so much for your support 🙏
