Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

In June 2012 I will be tackling my biggest ever physical and mental challenge. I will be crossing the world to join Englishman Tom Bland in an epic adventure that aims to raise awareness of, and funds for, mental health issues on both sides of the world.

We will be attempting something that nobody else has ever achieved. Our goal is to run the entire length of the UK's longest (and arguably most beautiful) long-distance footpath - the South West Coast Path - in one go. That's 1014 kms and the equivalent of 4 ascents of Mt.Everest from sea level, and we hope to do this in just 2 weeks. Put another way we will be running almost 1 3/4 marathons every day for 14 days over terrain that is a challenge for even the strongest hikers.

We both have first-hand experience of the devastation that mental health issues can have on individuals and families. We want to do our bit to overturn the stigma and prejudice that surrounds mental health issues on both sides of the world. And of course we want to raise funds to help charities that are engaged in doing so much valuable work in this field. In my case this means I am supporting the Mental Health Foundation of NZ.

I hope you can support me as I put my body on the line to support them. If you can help, select the 'Make a donation' button below. It's simple, fast and totally secure.

If you live in New Zealand your donation is tax deductible and a receipt will be issued.

So please sponsor me now!

Many, many thanks
Mal
