Walking the Wainuiomata hill for 24 hours

Jay from Avalon

My best friend Tania will be walking the Wainui hill on 15/02/19 for 24 hours to raise money.

Tania's goal in 2018 was to walk the Wainui hill everyday for the whole year. She completed that goal and walked the hill 528 times (the equivalent to 3500 km which is twice the length of the country) despite facing tough barriers throughout 2018.

Tania has successfully lost 75kg over the past decade through exercise and diet, while also obtaining a diploma in exercise science. 2018 was her 10th year going to the gym and keeping the weight off.

One of her goals is to have an operation to remove the excess skin she has from the weight she has lost. There is currently no government funding for operations like this.

Tania is going to walk the Wainui hill for 24 hours to raise money for the operation. The only way she can have a break is if someone else is walking the hill in her place.

If you would like to support Tania on her 24 hour walkathon you can contact her on 022 586 7479 or if you would like to contribute you can visit: givealittle.co.nz...
