Peace walk nears the finish

Two nights in hospital and blistered feet have not dented the determination of Temel Atacocugu to finish his walk from Dunedin to Christchurch. Temel is a survivor of the Christchurch mosque shootings in 2019 and he left Dunedin on March the 1st in the name of peace to reclaim the path taken by the terrorist. Along the way he got severe blisters, fever and a blood infection, causing him to spend two nights in Timaru Hospital. He set off again yesterday on a bike and today made it as far as Ashburton.
