Walking Te Araroa, 3000km for The Key to life charity.

ABOUT KEY TO LIFE (I am Hope):

One of the universal experiences as a human being is that sticky feeling that you are not good enough. We call this the inner critic. Despite being a daily challenge for everyone, it is also one of the most isolating experiences we all suffer and hide. I Am Hope's job is to reduce the barriers to this kōrero through our own vulnerable stories and show them that they are valued, and this critic is both normal and manageable.

WHEN?

Starting 14th November 2022 & plan to complete end April 2023.

ABOUT ME:

After many years and many hours devoted to working in Retail, I have decided to take a short break & reevaluate what is important to me and within my life.

I haven’t been brave enough to do this before now, and with the love and support of my wonderful Wife Antonia & the awesome team at work - from 14th November I will be taking a break from being an employee for 6 months and braving the 3000km Te Araroa trail.

I don’t know how this is going to work out and what the world will look like for me upon completing this, but I do know that this time is what my mind and body needs to reconnect and truly appreciate everything that I have.

I'm also fortunate enough to be in the financial position to spend time recalibrating my life and I hope to raise money for a charity that helps other people with their inner critic.
