Thank you all so much!!!!!

Kia ora everyone.
Well, it's been over a week since the end of the ride. My body has finally stopped thinking it should be getting on a bike each morning and I am settling back into 'regular' life! It's time we closed down this page, so I wanted to thank you so much for your generosity and incredible support along the way. It was an epic trip and you played a big part in making the hard parts easier! To end up more than doubling our fundraising target is amazing. There is an impression out there in some quarters that I Am Hope's government connection has ensured the foundation has plenty of funding, but the model doesn't work quite like that. This impression has had an impact on their overall funding so I am sure your contributions will make a difference to youth and their families on their mental health journey, the same as it did for us. Just as importantly, hopefully this also helped to keep the youth mental conversation at the front of our minds.
Thanks again and all the very best,
