21 GIU 2025 · Nirosha Curry has never been one to shrink from life’s hardest turns. Sent to boarding school in India as a young girl, she learned early what it meant to stand on her own. As a teenager, she immigrated to New Zealand, stepping into an unfamiliar world, filled with uncertainty and possibility. Years later, just as her children stood at the threshold of adulthood, life struck again: a breast cancer diagnosis. But Nirosha didn’t fold. She met each moment with grit, grace, and a quiet strength of spirit. Her story isn’t just about surviving, it's about showing up, time and again, even when the odds feel stacked high. This is Made It Happen, and this is Nirosha’s journey.

27 MAG 2025 · After an intense period in the tech sector during New Zealand’s COVID-19 response, Chris Borton found himself needing space, both physical and mental. That need sparked a journey of reflection and renewal as he hiked the length of New Zealand’s South Island. Through breathtaking landscapes and rugged terrain, Chris didn’t just take a break- he hit reset. His story is one of resilience, introspection, and choosing to step away in order to move forward.

27 MAG 2025 · As a student, Bill Nelson took a chance on a rare opportunity, a scholarship that would take him to the subantarctic islands of New Zealand and Australia. What he found there was more than just sweeping views and incredible wildlife. It was raw, remote, and life-shaping. Bill followed his curiosity all the way to the edge of the world, and in doing so, opened himself up to something profound. His story is a testament to what can happen when you take the leap and follow the pull of the unknown.

27 MAG 2025 · Chris Gibbons is the embodiment of perseverance and grit. His journey hasn’t been easy, and that’s exactly what makes it remarkable. From facing early academic challenges and personal loss, to earning a Master’s in Science, Chris has never taken the easy road. He’s carved out opportunities through determination, creativity, and a relentless drive. His story has taken him to one of the most remote and unforgiving places on Earth, Antarctica- and not just once, but three times. Chris is a powerful example that setbacks aren’t endings; they’re part of the process. He proves what it means to have a vision, face the odds, and made it happen.
