We work very closely with Jo Booker and the team at Soho Property which manages the beautiful high country stations we are very lucky to race through; so when she told us she was raising money for the Southern Lakes Sanctuary by walking 100km a week for the entire of 2024, we thought it was amazing!

Mayumi Saunders reflects on her annual tradition as a Motatapu volunteer, with unexpected turns, family camaraderie, and a commitment to community service.
