Ivan Miller is three-quarters of the way through his "Walk for Life", fundraising for the Mental Health Foundation and Suicide Awareness. A man walking the length and breadth of New Zealand to raise awareness for mental health returned to the place his own journey started nearly 20 years ago. Seventeen years later, 50-year-old Miller has been walking the country to raise money and awareness for mental health in New Zealand. His study gave him a creative outlet, while mindfulness techniques and group therapy helped him confront his mental health issues.
