14yr old Mahe is just a week away from Bluff - he's biked over 2000kms from Cape Reinga! He's had an incredible adventure so far.

Please share and donate - he'd love to reach his goal of $7k for Fiordland Marine SAR.
Thank you!

Mahe always knew he wanted to ride the length of New Zealand solo one day.

After we completed our family trip back in 2021, he said, “One day I’m going to do it again — but on my own.”

Now, at just 14 years old, he’s making that dream a reality. Riding solo, pushing himself every day, and proving that big dreams don’t have an age limit.

Mahe also wanted his journey to mean something more. He chose to fundraise for our local Fiordland Marine Search & Rescue team — an incredible group who receive very little government funding yet give so much to our community.

Fiordland Marine Search and Rescue delivers a 24/7 volunteer water rescue service across Southland and Fiordland’s rivers, lakes, and coastline — often in areas beyond the reach of other services. With increasing recreational water use and more frequent extreme weather events, maintaining a fully trained rescue team is critical.

This cause is especially close to our hearts, with Adrian (Mahe’s Dad) having been actively involved with Fiordland Marine SAR for almost 10 years.

Since starting the bike trip Mahe has raised just over $2.5k for Fiordland Marine SAR! But his goal is $7k.

Please share this post far & wide....🙏

The team are currently raising funds to train and equip a new volunteer rescue swimmer as part of our succession planning. Aiming for $10,000, This funding will provide essential rescue equipment, flight time and specialist training, including pre-hospital emergency care and required aviation courses.

Every donation helps ensure they can continue responding promptly and professionally when the community and visitors need them most.

Help Mahe raise these much needed funds by sharing this post far & wide.
Any contribution, no matter the amount, is truly appreciated and helps make a difference.

I’m excited to announce that I’ve received a partial scholarship to study Health Coaching through PREKURE.

PREKURE is a university-level internationally accredited programme that trains masterful Health Coaches in the latest lifestyle medicine in both metabolic and mental health, to empower whole-person health.
The mission is to help people reclaim agency over their own wellbeing.

Once I'm a trained health coach my mission will be to support people to make lasting lifestyle changes that improve both physical and mental health. The focus is on prevention, not just treating symptoms.

Health coaches use the principles of lifestyle medicine — including nutrition, sleep, movement, and stress management — alongside advanced coaching skills such as deep listening, curiosity, and partnership. Rather than telling people what to do, we work alongside clients, empowering them to discover their own path to better health and wellbeing.

Through my years working as a massage therapist, it became clear that health coaching is a powerful and complementary addition to hands-on treatment — supporting clients not just in recovery, but in long-term wellbeing.

Over the next year, I’ll be following this pathway in the hope that I can support even more clients to achieve their health goals in the future. There are many different avenues this training can lead to, so I’m not entirely sure which direction I’ll take just yet — watch this space!

I’m excited to begin this journey! Bring on February 2026!

Julie Burgess is a true inspiration in our community. This year, Julie set herself a goal and absolutely smashed it — completing two half marathons: the Queenstown Half Marathon and our very own Meridian Half.

A passionate walker, Julie turned her love of movement into a challenge, showing that with consistency and determination, incredible things are possible. But Julie’s impact goes well beyond the finish line. She also manages to find time to give back to the community through her role on our local community board!

Julie is incredibly fit, quietly determined, and a genuine local legend who inspires us all to keep moving, set goals, and stay connected to our community. 👟💛

We've loved being part of your journey Julie!
