Gloves up for Gumboot
Fundraising for Gumboot Friday. Free counselling for young kiwis who are at risk and struggling with mental health issues.
Nelson / Tasman
I am putting on the gloves for a charity boxing match. I am aiming to raise money for Gumboot Friday, an organization that saves young people's lives. A small part of the funds raised will go towards the cost of the training programme.
I believe this organisation can make a huge difference for New Zealanders at risk. As a guidance counsellor, I have witnessed the benefit of this organization for individuals struggling with mental health.
Many of us, including myself, have lost loved ones to a mental health issue. I have worked for Gumboot Friday and have seen how effective it can be. Help me raise money for this worthy cause and make a difference to young people in Aotearoa.

I believe Gumboot Friday is an excellent organisation. It is well designed and connects professionals with youth in need. Research suggests that even one session can help save lives. I have worked with Gumboot Friday as a provisional counsellor.
Use of funds
The money goes towards "Gumboot Friday" which provides free counselling, psychology and psychotherapy for at risk youth. A small portion ($1,000) of the funds also go towards training.
