Skateboarding up New Zealand from the bottom to the top grilling up at every stop! Raising money to help young kiwis get mental health help.
Christchurch, Canterbury
We’re skating from Bluff to Cape Reinga, the entire length of New Zealand, to raise awareness for youth mental health and fund free counseling through I AM HOPE.
Mental health has affected us personally. We’ve lost loved ones and we’ve seen too many young people struggle to get the support they need. The reality is, thousands of young kiwis are stuck on waiting lists, unable to access help when they need it most.
We’ll be stopping at skateparks along the way and our goal is to host free Bbqs at every major skatepark, We want to show young people that they’re not alone and that it’s okay to talk about what they’re going through.
All funds raised in this give a little goes straight to I AM HOPE, helping young Kiwis get free, timely mental health support. By supporting this cause, you’re giving young kiwis the chance to speak to someone who truly listens, without the stress of long wait times or financial barriers.
If you can donate, awesome. If not, a share or a conversation about mental health helps just as much ❤️
We begin our journey on the 1st of March as we hitch hike down to the starting point of bluff, we will be documenting the whole trip plan to keep everyone updated throughout social media
Together, we can make a difference one skatepark at a time! @TGCUNZ
