Sandrina starts her journey November 6, 2023 (pending the opening of the trailhead) for 4-5 months to walk the length of New Zealand – an incredible 3,000km (1,864 miles)! Her journey from each end of New Zealand’s seas will begin in Cape Reinga north of the North Island to Bluff south of the South Island of New Zealand. Along the way, she will explore beaches, volcanoes, mountains, rivers, lakes, and valleys. It will be the adventure of a lifetime!

It has been Sandrina’s dream to walk this track for many years. This year is the year! She was inspired by a friend to use this journey to bring awareness to a cause that is important to her. She learned that two of her favorite artists, Avril Lavigne & Fletcher, both battle Lyme disease – something she had never heard of before. She started to research Lyme disease and she came across LymeLight Foundation and was fascinated by the fact that 100% of donations go straight to kids and teenagers fighting Lyme disease. She decided this was the cause she wanted to champion. Sandrina is excited to be a part of bringing hope and healing to others and can’t believe that she’ll be helping so many people.

“Thank you, LymeLight for giving me the chance to get awareness for this awful disease. I’m so excited to be a part of this and helping all those in need of support.” – Sandrina
