Help me make it meaningful
As many of you know, Dad passed away in a cycling accident late last year. Knowing how much the Black Dog institute meant to him, and the hours upon hours he put into riding for Zoo2Zoo, I wanted to do something special this year to help raise some money for the Black Dog too.
Now, Dad loved a sufferfest. And while I was never the greatest cyclist, I do like to run. So at the end of March I’m going to be running, walking (and maybe by the end crawling) 3 of New Zealand’s Great Walks, in just 3 days.
The Milford, Kepler and Routeburn Track are some of the most incredible multi-day hikes out there, and in total work out to be nearly 150kms and 5000m vertical gain. In other words, well and truely a sufferfest.
I’m looking forward to the challenge, and to raising some money for this incredible cause, so please show me your support and donate if you can, it all helps.
