Through our association with Mike King and I AM HOPE we continue to admire and respect the thoroughly vital work they do to support our youth and promote awareness around mental health. We are prepared to put ourselves out there to help promote and collect for this great cause.

On the 28th of May, Mike King and his team will be walking 100km around the Auckland Domain in gumboots in attempt to raise $100k. Walking through depression is like walking through mud; so for one day of the year we will wear our gumboots to walk alongside our loved ones. So we are going to rock on down to walk as a team and collectively accumulate those km's. Some of us may even run!?

If you are in Auckland.... Come on down to the Domain Grandstand, put on your gumboots and walk a km or 5 with us!

Last year 125 young people in NZ took their life, and thousands more attempted.

Gumboot Friday is an initiative created by I AM HOPE to provide FREE kids counselling in a timely manner.

100% of all money raised goes straight to the qualified counsellors in our database, with no hidden costs.

We'd like to encourage our clients and wider network to also support this cause and donate to the Gumboot Friday appeal via this fundraising page thus furthering the ability to support kids' getting the mental health support they need, when they need it.
