Hello everyone,

Starting November 1st, I will be starting at Cape Reinga and walking 3000km until I reach Cape Bluff!

This journey is the length of New Zealand and is going to take me roughly four months. This event is to create awareness and funds for teen suicide. Its a major issue in NZ. Together we will raise funds for charities that are dedicated to supporting those in need.

If we can prevent even one young person in NZ taking their own life, I would be the happiest guy alive! However, I hope to achieve a bigger goal than this! Spreading awareness will create a positive ripple affect for the youth of New Zealand.

I have a Facebook page called "Alex's Walk for Life" that I would love for you all to follow!

Basically this is about creating a positive and community driven event that’s brings people together for a united reason!

Thank you all :)

Alex Winiata's involvement (page creator)

I am the creator of the event and will be the one walking 3000km from the top to the bottom of NZ.

I have personally been affected by suicide and know many others in the same boat. I love living in New Zealand and find it hard to look at the devastating statistics on teenage suicide in NZ.

I want to raise awareness and money to donate to these three NZ charities. In the hope that from this event we can create a brighter future for Aotearoa.
