Starting at the end of December 2018, I will be embarking on a solo
running journey from Bluff to Cape Reinga on the Te Araroa trail. I'm pretty
sure there will be plenty of walking and a dash of cycling too. I call it
a journey as that is what it will be and what it has taken to get to this
point.
“A journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step”.
It takes many steps to achieve a journey and it all starts with
a single step, whatever our journey is, small steps have big impacts. This is
one of my steps. I find it challenging to tell others what I’m doing and what I
have done, but one of my goals is to help others achieve theirs. So how can I
ask that without first challenging myself. Mental health is a journey and I'm
doing this because I believe that Mental Health is a strength, and I want to
encourage others to take steps towards their potential. Being a teacher, I have
a particular interest in youth education and funding to support these amazing
individuals to believe in themselves and build strategies to survive and thrive
in our world.
Your donation will help the Mental Health Foundation of NZ
provide individuals, workplaces, schools and communities with the tools they
need to build positive mental health and wellbeing. I want to raise $3000 for
3000km, so please donate to me today! Every little bit counts!
