Whanganui, Manawatu-Wanganui
I have completed paddling the whanganui river from Taumarunui to Whanganui on a surf board. This 235k journey had not been done on a surf board before and took me 7 days Making me the first person to ever do it! Day 1 I did 57k day 2 - 37.5k day 3 - 29k day 4 - 21k day 5 - 30k day 6 - 30k day 7 - 30.5k.
I'm passionate about mental health as anyone who knows me will know and would love to do something to help raise awareness and encourage thoes going through tough times to seek help or even just open up to friends or family as well as raise funds for I am hope who provide suport (mental health suport) for New Zealands youths who need it.
