Just so you know, I’ve done it! I’ve walked the length of NZ. This page will be here just a little longer so people can see what I was doing…
Walking Home
Mental Fitness isn't that hard or complicated; you just have to turn up a little bit every day. Same goes for walking the entire length of the country...
This is less an ‘idea’ and more of a compulsion. After spending over 10 years working in mental health I’ve seen a lot of fundraisers and awareness raisers, hell, I’ve put them on! And sure, we still need more of them… But… What we really need is action!
And it doesn’t have to be complicated. We know scientifically and anecdotally that we can improve our mental health outcomes with some simple and FREE tools, understandings and exercises. We just have to DO them!
Connection is a big part the Mental Fitness puzzle. Connection to ourselves that results in self-awareness, self-esteem, self-compassion and self-love. Connection with the land that teaches us to regulate our own nervous systems so we can deal with the crazy world around us. And Connection with each other, the understanding that we are not alone and we can help each other be better.
That is what this adventure is about; encouraging and inspiring CONNECTION.
I dare you to come and connect with me.
So What Now?

Contribute.
There are a few wonderful people who have asked how they can contribute monetarily to this project – there are two main ways;
You can donate to the Te Araroa Trail so that they have more funds to maintain the trail so we can all enjoy it for connection.
You can ‘Buy Jimi Dinner’ to help offset some of the costs of his journey.
Both of those things can be done HERE.
