The Lighthouse Project

The Lighthouse Project Who we are: Sweet? What we’re doing.

Nah…
Four ordinary blokes on an extraordinary journey: raising awareness of, and fundraising for, local legends who are doing their thing for men’s mental health. We’re road tripping 6000km round Aotearoa in 12 days, visiting some of our prominent lighthouses, 24 in fact...

Along the way we’ll meet local legends striving to improve wellbeing in their communities. Through each stage of the journey

we’ll be picking up leaders of grassroots organisations and drawing awareness to their cause, sharing their stories and mahi. When we park up for the night, we’ll host charity catch ups, encouraging ordinary blokes to have the courage to say nah when someone asks if they’re sweet.

Ehara taku toa I te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini: My strength is not that of a single Warrior but that of many: A massive Chur to the Thames community who must be incredibly proud of their men and their club for gaining not 1, but 2 rugby titles over the weekend 🔥

How bloody good! Not only are these fundraising legends in the the semi-finals with a home game - but one of their own has cracked the Commonwealth Games 7s team for 🇹🇴 Tonga 🔥
If you’re not up to much, get on down to Rhodes Park to back the Blue and Black - remember this club put 15k towards Mental Health organisations around Aotearoa - talk about massive tickers 🤙🏽

I owe the moana so much as an individual ❤️ I missed World Ocean Day yesterday as I had parent teacher meetings until 7pm, so here’s my aroha. At least once a week I get out amongst our environment and try to improve things - but it’s as much for the environment as it is for me 🤙🏽 my head space needs this and nothing has ever been as welcoming and as cleansing as my time spent surfing, fishing, spear fishing or swimming 🤯 If you’re battling some darkness - get into nature asap, whether that be your local awa, moana, maunga or ngahere - 5min will shift your perspective 🤙🏽🌳🌊

Such an epic event and some unbelievable generosity out there ❤️

Round 2: Yarns continued 👌🏽 What a bloke! Sam Sim O'Sullivan witnessed first hand the need for greater support and understanding at the top of the cliff - and did something about it. If you can ignore me then you'll find he has some gems to share 🤙🏽

Day TWELVE 🥵
We are 500km and 12hrs into our last day and it has been a real leg burner 😂
Thank you so much to Meech and Blair for welcoming us onto their stunning property at 10pm last night - such a novelty to hear kiwi this morning as we left at 5am.

We arrived on time (which is always a gamble) for our AM interview - a real pleasure and thank you for having us on - massive props to for helping a couple of real amateurs come across as coherent … just!

Dargaville lighthouse - definitely in our top 50, slightly behind the novelty playground one that Roadney slid down in Paraparaumu 😂

Finally a calf tearing 15km beach run past shipwrecks and fossilised forest to reach the Pouto Lighthouse on the edge of the Kaipara Harbour.

We set out on this trip with a lofty target - but really we all felt that if this trip saved one dude from making a s**t decision - then it was worth it - judging by the yarns we’ve had with blokes along the way - this is starting to happen 🤙🏽

Day 11 was a banger! Started with a quick chat with The Rock with and both of whom were missing .
After that it was a quick mission to catch up with who have been amazing sponsors - we couldn’t have helped these organisations without you ❤️
It was off to Whangarei to catch up with from Tanifans on Tour - so much respect for a bloke like him who despite being stressed about meeting us - still forged ahead and shared his journey, Chur brother!
Finally a mad dash to the stunning lighthouse at Cape Reinga where Roadney had a boogie - finished off by washing the day away at Tapotupotu Bay 🤙🏽
