Sometimes you really do have to climb every mountain. New Zealand adventurer, mountain runner and mental health advocate Mal Law is no stranger to taking on extreme challenges in order to fundraise for charities. A decade ago he became the first person to run the then seven great walks in Aotearoa, in 7 days.
In 2015 he ran fifty mountain peak marathons in fifty days. This time he's taking more of a long view and has set himself the goal of climbing one million vertical feet in 2019. He's using it as a way to challenge himself, but also to raise money for the mental health foundation and to start conversations about the role outdoor exploration can have in improving mental health.
