In memory of Papa

Help me make it meaningful

6yrs ago my stepdad took his own life. No one saw it coming. 

He left behind so many unanswered questions and a pain that will never stop. 

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.

That’s why I’m getting active and raising funds for the Black Dog Institute - to support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

By December 31st 2023 my aim is to lose 50kgs and do the splits. Why the splits? I don’t have any party tricks and this seems like a pretty useless but impressive one. I’m not going to reveal my current weight yet however I will update any weightloss throughout the year, as well as posting photos and starting weight on December 31st. As well as a video of me doing the splits. 

Help me create a meaningful moment for mental health as I work up a sweat, all for a great cause.
