Jordan Pratt set himself a challenge that would test his physical and mental limits - 10 Great Walks in 10 days across the North and South Islands. The complex logistics meant that Jordan was supported by a team that were the 'glue' of the challenge. They provided a morale boost and banter at the end of every trail, as well as sorting transport, accommodation, food and telling Jordan when to eat, sleep and stretch. The hardest part were days 4-7 after the 78km Heaphy track with a window of wet weather. What surprised Jordan most about this challenge was the people that rallied around him - from a group cheering him on at the Milford Track to internet strangers donating to his fundraiser for Starship. This challenge has prompted Jordan Pratt to reflect on the power of bringing 'crazy' ideas to reality - what would happen if every person stepped outside their comfort zone and chased their ideas?
