The Up: Havelock North pair aim to raise $5000 for men\u2019s mental health charities with road trip"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Starting in Kaik\u014dura, they made it to Hawke\u2019s Bay, travelling through Picton and Wellington thanks to a free Bluebridge ferry ticket.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Both hoped to raise at least $5000 for Movember and Christchurch men\u2019s mental health charity Lads Without Labels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Field said he\u2019d had a tough time in 2025 and bottled up a lot of his feelings, inspiring the charitable road trip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Both charities had information and resources beneficial for men of all ages, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cWe\u2019re not mental health experts \u2013 we\u2019re just two young guys who wanted to use our business and what we have to do something positive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cIf the trip can raise some money, get a few more blokes talking and remind people to check in on their mates, then it\u2019s worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">After Hawke\u2019s Bay, the pair travel to Taup\u014d, then Auckland, where they\u2019re aiming to raise $2000 worth of window cleaning in one day, with all money going to the charities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">From there, they would make their way back to Christchurch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Field said he\u2019d already put on a couple of kilograms from all the free food from people supporting them in the first 10 days of the trip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Follow the trip and contact Field and Sowman via the Go Windows Instagram page, <a
