Mid-Winter Morning for Mental Health

Join Mitchells Nutrition for a morning of movement, nourishment, and connection - in a collaborative effort to raise awareness and funds for mental health and suicide prevention. 

We’re teaming up with local legends in Mount Maunganui & Auckland to support Stefan Ozich (Athlete & Holistic Endurance Coach) in a never-before-attempted feat. Over 100 days, Stefan will run the length of New Zealand via the Te Araroa Trail, from top to bottom and back again. This mammoth effort aims to raise awareness and funds for our critically under-resourced mental healthcare system.

In 2023, Stefan lost his brother to suicide. Through this devastating experience, he realised how severely under-equipped the mental healthcare system is in New Zealand. 

A morning of connection, nourishment, and impact you don’t want to miss.
