Fundraising for Lifeline Aotearoa
Nationwide
Why am I Cycling the Length of New Zealand to raise money for Lifeline?
I’m taking on the challenge of cycling the entire length of Aotearoa — from Cape Reinga to Bluff — not just for the adventure, but for a cause that’s deeply important to me: mental health support.
Every day, Lifeline answers calls from people who are struggling, feeling isolated, or in crisis. Their work saves lives, and yet they rely heavily on donations to keep their services running. By riding 3,000 kilometers over 30 days, I want to raise awareness of the importance of mental health and help ensure that Lifeline can continue to be there for anyone who needs to talk.
This journey is about resilience, connection, and hope — values that Lifeline embodies. It’s also a personal commitment to push myself physically and mentally, in solidarity with those who face invisible battles every day.
If you believe in the power of listening, compassion, and community, please support this ride. Every dollar raised goes directly to Lifeline, helping them answer more calls and reach more people.
