The Chief Nutter is back!
I thought I was done with pushing my limits for a cause, but it seems not. I reckon I have just one more in me, but this time it's a little different...
1 Million Feet for Mental Health is to be a year-long project, kicking off on Jan 1st 2019. My goal is to climb 1,000,000 vertical feet (304,800 metres) by the end of the year. I'll do this by running and walking in the mountains of New Zealand and wherever else my thirst for adventure takes me during 2019. It's a project that will take me to my 'happy place' again and again, each time reinforcing how good being active in the great outdoors is for my own mental wellbeing and hopefully encouraging others to get out there and feel the benefits too.
But it won't be all beer & skittles. Like life itself, it'll be very tough at times. There'll be days when I wish I'd never dreamed this up. There'll be days when I'll want to throw in the towel. There'll be days when I'm dragging my feet and feeling sorry for myself, wishing I was still in bed. But so long as the donations keep on coming in I'll keep on going, forever upwards.
To put this challenge in perspective, 1 million feet of ascent is equivalent to:
- climbing to the observation deck of Auckland's Sky Tower 1,640 times
- climbing to the tip of the Eiffel Tower 940 times
- climbing Everest from Base Camp more than 87 times
- climbing Mt. Cook from sea level 82 times
I'm doing this because I'm a passionate advocate for mental health and a great believer in the value of being active in the great outdoors as a way of boosting mental wellbeing.
I'm doing this because I have first hand experience of the devastating consequences that depression can have.
I'm doing this because nearly 50% of New Zealanders will experience a mental health problem in their lifetime, and I don’t want them to face it on their own.
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. It will also be my carrot (or stick, depending on how you choose to look at it!) - for each $10 donated I pledge to climb 1,000 feet. So if $100,000.00 is donated I will have no choice but to climb 1 Million Feet for Mental Health.
Thanks for your support.
Thank you to our supporters

Kia Kaha Malcolm. Thank you for being an inspiration to those of us whose life has been affected either directly or indirectly as a result of mental illness. the pressures of the modern world with its shrinking space and growing population will push many more people down the rabbit hole into mental illness. The ability to cope will just get harder and harder. we all need to support our friends, family and community to ensure a safe environment for those that fail to cope and sink into the void. Providing support and love to escape the void and regain the self and return to the whanau and friends once again.

Yo dude! As long as I don't forget (which won't be easy so I might need reminding!) and finances remain healthy (a necessary caveat cos of my wife's recent job changes) ... Every time I post a pedestre* on Strava this year I'll beat you with a carrot (which is really what it comes down to much of the time, isn't it?) to the value of the same climb. LMRB. * pedestre is a word that (I think) I made up to refer to any outing on foot. We get so hooked up on running v. walking when it really doesn't matter, and many of my most enjoyable outings are either walks with a little bit of running where it's easier (like nice, grassy descents) or runs with a more-than-normal amount of walking (which is soooooo liberating!).

I did 212,208 vertical ft & 5,116 km in 2015 when I challenged myself to walk/run 5,000 km that year. That was an impossible goal for me so I really appreciate the scale of what is essentially 4x the vertical m's. I hope you have a daily stair routine. I was doing 8 floors twice a day as part of my work rate.

What an awesome initiative Malcolm! Since the very first time I sat down and watched Fifty the night before the 2016 Rotorua Marathon to meeting you and Sally in person several weeks later, you have been a true inspiration in my life. Thanks to you I have gone on to push boundaries (physical and mental) that I never knew I was capable of. I wish you all the best on this next adventure and would love to join you if you are running anywhere around Tauranga, Rotorua or Central North Island!
