About this episode
Two absolute lads on one outrageous mission. Alex and Ben decided they wanted to do something that would really push them to their limits for Movember so became the first ever to walk across New Zealand in a straight line. What followed was six days of chaos: rafting rivers in a leaking dinghy, crawling through blackberry, dodging bulls, and getting zapped by electric fences, all to raise money and awareness for men’s health. In this episode they open up about around the challenges they have faced which included losing loved ones to prostate cancer and suicide. They found these challenges and Movember has given them a purpose bigger than themselves. They also reveal their next wild challenge as they continue their mission to get blokes talking and checking in. Some bits that stood out for me were.. • Why they decided to walk in a perfectly straight line across NZ • The madness of rafting rivers, bulls, and electric fences • How the six-day adventure raised over $11,000 for Movember • The deeper reason behind their mission – losing loved ones to men’s health battles • The power of mateship during difficult times • What they've got planned in the future And heaps more! It’s raw, funny and bloody inspiring. These lads are a serious reminder to talk to your mates, get checked, and step outside your comfort zone.
