    It’s been an amazing journey. Last night I had friends & family come from all over NZ to see me finish today. We all caught up for a nice dinner last night. Last 24km to go!

    It’s been a mammoth effort so far & I have had so much support, It’s humbling how much! Since I have reached my target early, I believe I can fundraise more. This is a life changing journey & with your help i know we can also change others lives for the better!

    Thank you everyone for your support so far!

    Less than a week to go now, I will be starting at Cape Reinga next Monday the 14th & slowly making my way down to Bluff, hoping to raise funds & awareness for "I am Hope" & the awesome work that the team do for mental health in our communities.
