I'm getting in the ring and every punch packs a purpose! Help me raise funds for Youthline Otago and support our youth's mental wellbeing.

Dunedin, Otago

Tēnā koutou katoa,

I'm a Whānau Ora Nav at Te Roopu Tautoko Ki Te Tonga. I have a background in youth work and mental health. I am passionate about advocating for and supporting rangatahi wellbeing, to build their confidence and discover mana motuhake (self-determination and control over one's own destiny).

I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive, and this is why I'm stepping into the ring for a charity boxing event.

Too many of our rangatahi fall through the cracks, creating poor mental wellbeing which can have a lifelong impact if they are left unsupported.

Youthline Otago plays a crucial role in providing essential support services to young people, helping them navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience. By participating in this event, I aim to raise awareness and gather funds to help Youthline continue offering their invaluable assistance to our rangatahi.
