Hey! We're Hunter and Emily - the team behind Sole to Soul. A project sparked from the question of "what's next?"
Starting this October, we are beginning the journey of a lifetime: walking 3000km along the Te Araroa in NZ to raise $100k for 6 mental health and environmental organizations across Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
It's a big journey - one that is estimated to take between 5-6 months to complete.
Each of the 6 organizations have links for you to donate to through our website.

This journey is going to be long and challenging in ways we can only imagine at this point. It is estimated that walking this trek costs an average $8-10k per person, so to help make this all possible, we're seeking your support and sponsorship to help cover some of the costs directly related to the trek.
Donations made through this link go directly to Emily and I to cover costs like:
- food
- accommodation/campsites that aren't covered with the trail hut pass
- gear repairs + replacements (like footwear, clothing, tent, sleep system, etc.)
- transportation (shuttle to the trail head, ferry between the North and South Island, compensating people who pick us up when hitch-hiking, etc.)
- crowdfunding strategies to reach a larger audience and raise more money for the organizations (announcements on this soon to come!)
At the end of our trek, any money leftover from this fundraiser will get split evenly 6 ways and donated to each of the 6 organizations we are raising funds for!
No donation is too small, and helps us immensely in achieving this big goal.
