Shiftystrolls walks a 1006 km to raise suicide awareness and to donate to a good cause that saved my life

Fundraising for Westpac rescue helicopter and will be walking 1006 kilometres on the Bibbulmun track

Waikato, Thames-Coromandel District

About 5 years ago I had a surgery that didn't go to plan and as a result my nervous system has been seriously damaged. During my recovery things became overwhelming due to the lack of physical activity and immense pain I struggled to fight and couldn't see way through for the first time in my life. As a consequence I tried to take my own life. Through the love of my whanau and the medical help provided I survived. The Westpac rescue helicopter in NZ transported me to a much needed ICU where I began my fight and recovery journey. So I decided a year ago to walk the Bibbulmun track, 1006 end to end south bound journey. This journey is significant in my recovery and something I have dreamed of for sometime. I understand it won't be easy but that's what recovery looks like. So if you are in a situation to donate it would be appreciated. Also maybe just reach out to someone and do a check in, ask open ended questions that require something more than a yes or no
