Not just any old stroll around a lake. Made with funding from NZ on Air.
Ollie Ward and Gerard Dorssers are gearing up to walk around Lake Ngāroto in the Waikato for 24 hours to raise cash for two struggling families.
But it will be no walk in the park.
The pair will set off at 8am on Saturday, March 16, striving to loop around the lake 17 times before finishing the same time the next day. Photo / Hunter Calder
The pair will set off at 8am on Saturday, March 16, striving to loop around the lake 17 times before finishing the same time the next day.
It will be about 102km of non-stop walking, with supporters sponsoring the men for the extreme feat.
For now though, it's one foot in front of the other as Ollie and Gerard prepare for next month's event.
The men are hoping to attract a crowd of supporters at Lake Ngāroto, with the public invited to join in on a loop around the lake on Saturday, March 16 at 10am.
