Ukraine Crisis Appeal

Help me raise funds for the Ukrainian people in their hour of need

I’m walking New Zealand end to end to support the Ukrainian people. My aim is to generate at least $1 for every km I walk from you my dear friends and pet lovers! Β The money goes to the Red Cross on the ground in Ukraine. You will help supply medicines and equipment, provide families with food, shelter and hygiene items, deliver water and repair vital infrastructure.

Walkerville Vet has already donated a matching amount in anticipation of your generosity.

Your contribution will help provide the life-saving support needed right now and, in the days and months to come. Together we will make a difference.

Thanks!

We’re halfway there!

No, we’re not halfway across New Zealand!

More excitingly, we are halfway towards the target of $3000 towards supporting Ukrainians over this horrible winter. Once again, I can’t say how wonderful it makes me feel. Keep up the good work!

It just keeps getting better!

It’s near the end of February, and we’re now more than $1000 ABOVE the target, and it just keeps growing. Even Red Cross themselves have started to take notice – you lot are amazing and you only keep giving. Let’s keep it up: these dollars are going to make a lot of people much better off.

Finished! But You Can Still Donate...

On the 30th of March, 2023, I reached Cape Reinga at the tip of the North Island, 103 days and 3000km after leaving Bluff at the tip of the South Island. What a journey!

The response from donors has been overwhelming and wonderful. Thank you to everyone. You are amazing.

Thank you to my Sponsors
