I'm 35. Last year I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, my dream job was disestablished, I lost nearly everything in 2w.
This year I survived having the tumor removed, then ran a marathon, got a Fulbright, and today is my first day at Harvard @hgse.

Going for a 300km walk along the Camino de Santiago next month.
Just me and eldest childdult - a right of passage to go do something epic with her dad as she turns 20.
Any tips welcome from other pilgrims. Suitable footwear?

Practicarily - it could work but somebody could die.

And you can no longer add Mastodon urls to your profile anymore. Twitter says it’s malware.
Desperate much?

[Vaughan Fergusson @nzvorn]

@dylanbland Glass of wine on our return!

[Vaughan Fergusson @nzvorn]

What a cool list of people to be somehow included in. It’s a huge surprise and humbling to be considered NZ Innovator of the Year.

@dylanbland And thank you. ❤️

[Vaughan Fergusson @nzvorn]

Our teams are all NZers of the year, I thank y’all for doing amazing things, in particular @ZTimbrell who often holds the world on her awesome shoulders.

[Vaughan Fergusson @nzvorn]

The mahi we did at Vend and now do with the charity is 99.999% not me but the teams doing the work. I’m just a guy, usually in a loud shirt, making shit up.
