Fundraising for Make-A-Wish New Zealand
Nationwide
Kia Ora,
My name is Shawn Mahoney and I am from the United States. I’ve hiked over 16,000 km and over 300,000 meters of elevation raising money for charities. My goal is to hike Te Araraoa trail carrying the log to raise money for Make-A-Wish New Zealand. To keep it short (because it’s a long story) look up Larry the Log to see the fundraising I’ve done and the articles that have been written about me.
