Hi, my name is Mark Gresser. I grew up in the Perth hills of Western Australia, work professionally as a zoologist, and enjoy challenging adventures. I previously rode a bicycle 29,600 kilometres through 28 countries (find out more at Budgie Escapee), then had the idea to ditch the bike and go for a long walk. Having been through (and continuing to live) my own journey to understand how I can better manage my mental health, the idea for the walk grew into an opportunity to contribute something to others, and Trek 4 Youth Mental Health was born.
