Fundraising for I Am Hope Foundation

Morrinsville, Waikato

Hey, I’m Talya, and I’ve decided to challenge myself physically and mentally and push myself out of my comfort zone by biking for 24hours on the bike ergs to raise awareness, and normalising the conversation around mental health.

We all face our own challenges and struggles at some point in our lives. Mental health is a subject that is close to my heart as for me personally, I’ve hit rock bottom, and I once believed the world would be better off without me. I’ve battled my way through my own struggles of mental health, spent days, months and years in and out of psych wards.

I understand how challenging mental health is, and how much the New Zealand Mental Health system has failed so many of us, so I need you help!!!!

I am fundraising for I AM HOPE/ Gumboot Friday to support Mike King and his crew to be able to spread the word of hope and help our young kiwis that are struggling today. I AM HOPE’s aim is to forever change the way our kids think, act, and feel about mental illness and mental well-being.

Check out I AM HOPE’s pages for more information!

So if you are willing to help make a change and support I AM HOPE/ Gumboot Friday, any small donations would be very much appreciated and will be a massive help!

Save the date - Friday 3rd & Saturday 4th of November, come along and support myself on this 24 hour bike ride!!!

For anyone that is struggling, remember you are not alone!!!

Hope is real! Change is Possible!
