Target: $5,000
raised $4,470 since 2024
My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Prostate cancer
Mental health and suicide prevention

Earlier this year, we lost Alex's father Darrell to prostate cancer.

Darrell was a true leader and most importantly a great dad. He ran a boutique landscaping company in Auckland for 40+ years, completing countless amazing outdoor transformations in the city.

Darrell had a hard fought battle for over 2 years. He was a fighter at heart, and beat the odds to stick it out as long as he did.

This was our first encounter with a loved one and cancer, and it opened our eyes to a devastating reality. This is what pushed us to go outside our comfort zone and attempt an audacious challenge that he would be proud of.

In losing Darrell, we lost both a father and a role model - someone who we and many others looked up to and learned from every day. Any money raised will go towards helping patients & families who are currently going through their own battle.

How I'm
getting involved
0 of 60 kilometres
walking
Cross NZ from west coast to east in a perfectly straight line. We will stay on the line at all times - even to camp. We will encounter rivers, gorse bushes, electric fences, bull farms and much more.

Proud of you three Pioneering the Latitude, over intense terrain, in honour of our much loved belated Darrell Smith and Movember. I miss Darrell so much too. I know last year your Dad with prostrate cancer was a big motivation for Tane riding his E Scooter the length of NZ and I told Darrell so. Together you will achieve your goal.
