Hi my name is Emily and on the 18th of April, I’ll be walking 19 kilometres in honour of what would have been my younger sister Sarah’s 19th birthday.

This walk is a way to celebrate Sarah’s life, her kindness, and the beautiful impact she had on the people and world around her. Sarah was deeply passionate about protecting marine wildlife, and caring for the natural world was something that meant so much to her.

This fundraiser is in support of a charity that was very close to Sarah’s heart. Tangaroa Blue Foundation works to prevent and remove marine debris from our coastlines and waterways, helping to protect wildlife and preserve our oceans.
