Why Mike King Started Gumboot Friday
Hello Bloggers, Todays Task For My Home Learning is to write another article. This article is named "Why Mike King Started Gumboot Friday". Gumboot Friday encourages people to wear gumboots and give a gold coin donation to help fund free counselling for kids. Comedian Mike King started Gumboot Friday as a fun way to talk about mental health his goal is to raise $5 million through the initiative. Alize Rasmussen, 11 years old from Linwood Primary School, meets Mike and asks him about Gumboot Friday and why counselling is so important. In a past life, Mike was one of New Zealand's most well-known entertainers, but that role has changed dramatically since the conception of the radio show The Nutters Club in 2009. The show evolved from Mike's own experience of mental illness and addiction and has become a huge success with it now airing Sunday evenings on Newstalk ZB. These days, Mike is better known for his work as a prominent mental health educator and Ambassador for both I Am Hope and the Key to Life Charitable Trust.
