For those who don’t know, starting this October, Emily and I will be walking 3000km across NZ on the Te Araroa to raise funds for mental health and environmentalism. We will be documenting and sharing this story as a way of contributing to reducing the stigma that surrounds talking openly about mental health struggles, and the interconnectivity this has to caring for the health of the environment.

As planning for this big adventure continues and outreach evolves - if there’s anything we’ve learned, it’s that nothing successful is created alone.

Which is why we’re asking YOU to get involved.

We’ve officially selected the 3 mental health and 3 environmental organizations across Canada, New Zealand, and Australia that we’ll be raising funds for (which we’ll announce in a future post once our fundraising platform is set up), which will be key in getting your support to share with your followers and to donate if you can.

But we’re also looking for brands who want to get involved! Attached is our project proposal for brands looking to invest in some capacity - whether it’s through paid campaigns, gear donation, documentation support/storytelling, financial support through fundraiser donations or direct project donations, etc.

If you’re excited about this project and want to get involved, feel free to connect with us over Instagram or shoot me an email at hunter.bergen98@gmail.com.
