Retired NZ Army Major, Tony F Williams, has made it Timaru on his length of the country walk to raise funds for Doctors Without Borders.
A huge admiration for the work of Doctors Without Borders (DWB) has inspired 69-year-old retired Army Major, Tony F Williams, to undertake a fundraising walk the length of New Zealand.
Williams is 65 days into his epic walk, which consists of 30km sections six days a week, and passed through Timaru on Monday with nearly $30,000 raised which is well short of his $1 million target.
“I still haven’t given up on the $1m. I don’t want to do a Forrest Gump and turn around and go back.
“I think anything is achievable. If every Kiwi put a dollar into today we would hit the target and that’s quite achievable.
