Hiking the Epic E1 Trail from Norway to Sweden to raise funds for The 180 Degrees Trust

Kim Mackay-Wallace is a NZ outdoor enthusiast and guide. She is on a mission - to hike from Nordkapp, Norway to Varberg, Sweden on the E1 long distance hiking trail. Kim and her best friend Finn have already done countless adventures around NZ together and are both passionate about the outdoors and wish to raise funds from their epic adventure for a cause which aligns with their values - the 180 Degrees Trust.

Kim and Finn are already part way through their massive journey and you can read all about their adventures so far in Kim's blog www.livingnotexisting.net

Kim's goal is to raise $10,000 for 180 Degrees Trust (www.180degrees.org.nz) a charitable trust committed to improving outcomes for vulnerable youth in Canterbury. 180 educates, empowers and equips ‘at-risk’ young people to obtain a greater sense of self-awareness, confidence and gain positive decision making skills – helping young people who have struggled with mainstream schooling or who have been referred through the Youth Justice System. 180 uses outdoor education and high country adventures to inspire and teach life skills to initiate a turnaround in the young person’s life.
