  • Challenges for my students AND for me

    I’ve had a bit of a setback on my Te Araroa journey in the form of a fractured wrist. But that doesn’t mean I’m stopping fundraising or my journey. While the mountain passes are beyond me right now, I’m continuing on to some of the towns en route and doing as much walking as I can on the flat easy sections there.

    The students still need to get to camp later in the year and any amount you can spare will help ease the financial burden on families. Please consider helping if you can.

  • New Island, new goal!

    I’m starting my Te Araroa journey in the South Island, having completed 1,700km in the North Island) and the new school year has begun. I am opening a new round of fundraising to help students from my school get to camp later this year. Last year I raised money to help students attend, which was a great success.

    Finlay Park Adventure Camp is a wonderful opportunity for our students. At 11 or 12 years old they benefit greatly from being challenged physically in the great outdoors. The cost of the camp is prohibitive for many families and I would love to help as many as I can get to camp.
