Coast to Coast (Raglan to Whangamata)

Hey,

I am Talya, and this is Amara & Kristina, and we have decided to challenge ourselves physically and mentally by pushing ourselves out side of our comfort zones by walking our own version of coast to coast (Raglan to Whangamata) to raise awareness, and normalise 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 our heart as we have both personally struggled with my own mental health challenges. This year I (Talya) want to dedicate my walk to my Dad as he unexpectedly passed away earlier this year. This has given me the desire to continue to fight and help my fellow community who are struggling mentally and physically today.

We are fundraising for I AM HOPE/ Gumboot Friday starting on Thursday 31st October to support Mike King and his crew to be able to continue spreading 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, any small donation would be very much appreciated and will be a massive help!

Save the date 31st October to the 2nd November and come along and support us both as we walk Coast to Coast (Raglan to Whangamata).
