Walking The Long Path For Mental Health - Te Araroa 25/26

700km in 🎉

19 November 2025

700km down! Currently heading out of Hamilton and feeling incredibly grateful for all the support so far. Every message and donation keeps me moving. Thank you for helping me raise awareness for mental health👏🏼

This trail has been wild, emotional, muddy, pushing me out of my comfort zone and meeting some amazing people along the way, and absolutely worth every step.

Bring on the next section I’ve got the timber trail, Mt Pirongia and the Whanganui river in the near future ahead of me

Thanks again everybody 🫶🏼🥾🐄

300Km Update

30 October 2025

Hi Team,

Within 20 days I’ve tackled just over 300km of the Te Araroa trail so far with magic all around! 90 mile beach is done, the northland forests are done and now most recently the bay of islands. The next mission is to get into Auckland! Thank you all for your support for this amazing cause!

I’m beyond grateful to be out here for such an amazing opportunity taking in what our beautiful country has to offer, we have so many amazing people, places and culture around!

For more regular updates pop on over to my Instagram @Jorgia.byfield where I post day by day summaries!

Thank you all again

Love Jorgia 🩵
