I'm Not Alone Kylie Lang

I'm Not Alone is a personal odyssey about Kylie Lang walking the length of New Zealand. What started as a small idea turned into an epic adventure encapsulating the theme "I'm Not Alone" due to her husband Graeme stating it was not safe to do this adventure on her own. Kylie formed a plan to get different people to walk a day with her and after six months of organising, training and recruiting other walkers, Kylie set off in October 2014 to walk the Te Araroa Trail from Cape Reinga to Bluff. Each day she was joined by someone else to keep her company, share the beauty around them and raise funds for the Mental Health Foundation. Walking over 3000 km, taking 156 days provided many challenges that included walking through a lightning storm, heavy rain, injuries and endless mud. While pushing physical limits the walk also provided great rewards of friendships, generosity from strangers and learning how to deal with loss and adversity.
