Help me make it meaningful

Mental illness doesn’t discriminate – it affects 1 in 5 Australians every year with symptoms like depression and anxiety. The impact can be devastating, not only for those living with it, but for those around them.

Black Dog Institute is the only medical research institute in Australia to investigate mental health across the lifespan. Their aim is to create a mentally healthier world for everyone.

That’s why we’re donating a portion of sales to Black Dog Institute. Every dollar raised will support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

You can also donate online right now to show your support.

Thank you.

Wednesday 23rd Sep

The Great Australian Pub Crawl is a six month journey around Australia, visiting pubs and regional communities with the goal of bringing people together, starting conversations around mental health, and reminding Australians that no one has to go through the tough stuff alone.

This cause is especially close to home for me. I previously worked in mining with a mate named Phil, who tragically took his own life. Losing someone I knew personally made the reality of suicide and mental health struggles hit very differently, particularly within industries and communities where people can often feel like they need to keep things to themselves.

Through the Pub Crawl, I want to use my platform to help break down that stigma in a genuine and approachable way. The message behind the trip is simple "No one is alone, everyones a winner. This is where mates win"

By travelling through pubs and communities across Australia, raising funds for Black Dog Institute and creating content along the way, I hope we can encourage more conversations, remind people to check in on their mates, and show that asking for help is something worth backing.
