On 31st of October Lisa began her long journey to run the length of New Zealand from Bluff to Cape Reinga covering approx 2,200km in 43 days. It was a journey of extremes that saw her pushed to her physical and emotional limits, she set out, not only to run but to visit around 50 schools and to do other speaking engagements enroute to encourage kids and adults alike to get outside and get active. But Lisa's first aim was to raise money for two extremely worthwhile causes CanTeen and Curekids. And this cause helped Lisa to overcome the injuries, sickness and pain she experienced on this difficult mission.
