Why I'm doing it

I’m trekking the Tarkine wilderness to raise money for ShelterBox Australia! Please support me in whatever way you can. More people need emergency shelter than ever!

About the adventure

Known as Takayna to its Aboriginal custodians, the Tarkine in Tasmania’s northwest is an ancient land, unparalleled in diverse and awe-inspiring landscapes. Over five days you will get the chance to explore the dense and luscious rainforest, witness the wild and rugged coastline, scale a mountain peak, admire dramatic waterfalls, and cruise down a river. Each day the Tarkine will reveal a new and unforgettable treasure and if you’re lucky you might spot a platypus or a Tasmanian devil.

ABOUT SHELTERBOX:

ShelterBox is an international disaster relief humanitarian organization that responds urgently to shelter needs following earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, hurricanes, cyclones, tsunamis, or conflicts.

Working with local partners and individuals, we distribute customized emergency shelter and household supplies based on the specific needs of the communities we serve. Aid can include a disaster relief tent for an extended family, blankets, tarps, warm clothing, mosquito nets, a water filtration system and storage, emergency lighting, and other tools for survival.

Recently ShetlerBox responded to the catastrophic earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, and devastating floods in Pakistan. ShelterBox has ongoing programs in Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Mozambique, Somalia, and Yemen.

A rapidly growing part of ShelterBox's work is in conflict zones. Last year, for example, ShelterBox launched multiple programs that have helped more than 50,000 people displaced by the war in Ukraine. We are also working in Ethiopia and have been delivering aid in Syria for over a decade.

Since 2000, ShelterBox has provided shelter and life-saving items to more than 2.5 million following more than 300 disasters in nearly 100 countries. ShelterBox was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018 and 2019. ShelterBox USA is based in Santa Barbara, California.
