Cycle Aotearoa for Hope

Hey,

We are Amara & Talya, we have decided to challenge ourselves to cycle from Cape Reinga to Bluff (the length of Aotearoa) on November 1st to raise awareness and funds for I AM HOPE, Gumboot Friday, a cause that is close to our hearts.

Like many kiwis, we've seen first hand how many deeply mental health affects individuals, families and communities across Aotearoa, and we want to do our part to support those struggle silently.

This ride will push us physically and mentally, with long days, tough weather, and moments where quitting feels easier - but that's the point. We hope this journey inspires courage and reminds anyone struggling that they are not alone, to dig deep, ask for help and come out stronger on the other side.

Check out I AM HOPE’s pages for more information!
