Gerardo is running the length of the South Island to raise money for ChatBus, free counselling for primary and intermediate school children in Otago. He is on the Tahuna Normal Intermediate School Board and understands how important the service is for our tamariki. Gerardo loves to run for his own mental health and wants to inspire others to do the same.

Gerardo's South Island leg is starting at Deep Cove in Queen Charlotte Track, all the way to Bluff zig-zagging around the Southern Alps. Follow Gerardo while he makes this incredible journey along our beautiful country and show your support by donating.

Gerardo is aiming to raise $10,000 for ChatBus, this money will help hundreds of Children in Otago access the free counselling services provided by ChatBus.

All money raised will enable ChatBus to keep providing free counselling to primary and intermediate school children.
