Dan Taylor.
Whānau of Foxton were bowled over by the tragic loss of a loved son, mokopuna and friend. His name wasJosh Larsen.
His uncle Dan Taylor decided he would like to do something about it, and dreamt up the idea of No One Walks Alone, to gather any and all
people who are or have been affected by suicide and by walking together to show that we are never alone.
Kōrero Haumaru ki Te Awahou (Safe Talk Foxton) is a community group initiated by Kiwa Whareaitu (Whakapai Hauora Suicide Prevention Navigatorin Foxton) and has mushroomed into a vibrant, proactive whānau-led community group who meet every month to discuss local support for whānau in many kaupapa.
The No One Walks Alone Event is our flagship kaupapa that the team put in all our effort to bring a wonderful day for the region, that is celebrated in Foxton, with our own whānau flavour.
This year on Saturday, November 30, from 9am, we will start at Te Waiora Health Centre on Ladys Mile and walk to the centre of town, to the water tower, or the Māori name for the space is Paretao, an old pā kainga.
