Description
Kia ora e te whānau.This week Eugene and Matt speak with Jo Ryder and Sarah Haerawa from Trailblazers Aotearoa. Trailblazers is a volunteer-led initiative that uses activity and trail running as a vehicle for young people to overcome the impact of adversity. Jo founded Trailblazers after having significant interactions with young people in schools through her work as a police officer. Jo realized that the positive effects of physical activity and trail running in particular had tangible benefits to the rangatahi in this country. The programme curriculum is designed based on neurobiology and traumatology. The focus of Trailblazers is on healing, and you will hear that throughout our conversation with these two inspirational runners. Trailblazers Aotearoa now has programmes in Christchurch and Porirua and is looking to spread further afield. Both Jo and Sarah are avid trail runners and lining up this year at Taupo 100. We dive into their background in sports and the impetus for taking on this challenge. You will love this conversation and be inspired in ways that you may not expect. We also announce details of our Tarawera Ultra giveaways – yes, plural – and the Greatest Run Ever is a gem. Enjoy!
